A new function has been added to Cisco IOS and the Cisco Catalyst Operating System to automate packet prioritization and delivery in LANs and WANs. The new AutoQoS feature is aimed at simplifying the implementation of IP QoS for the delivery of VoIP from the wiring closet, across large enterprise IP backbones, and for service-provider-managed services. AutoQoS automates critical elements of QoS deployment in classifying applications; generating policies; configuring; monitoring and reporting; and consistency. Cisco said the automated functionality would also increase network availability by reducing operator and configuration errors. CiscoWorks QoS Policy Manager is a centralized management tool that complements AutoQoS by using Cisco IOS Software and Cisco Catalyst OS QoS mechanisms to provide more information about the status of network operations by monitoring traffic.
