Course Overview

What You'll Learn

  • This course equips you with the expertise to master Cisco’s powerful congestion management and Quality of Service (QoS) tools, ensuring essential applications maintain the performance needed to meet demanding service levels.
  • You’ll learn to configure advanced queuing techniques—including Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Class-Based WFQ, and Low Latency Queuing (LLQ)—and discover how to leverage congestion avoidance strategies such as Random Early Detection (RED), Weighted RED (WRED), and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to minimize packet loss and delay.
  • A strong focus is placed on practical skills: from policing and shaping traffic to maximize WAN efficiency to optimizing bandwidth for critical flows amid network congestion.

Aggressive network traffic can cause serious congestion, disrupting critical applications like voice, video, and interactive services. This course equips you with the expertise to master Cisco’s powerful congestion management and Quality of Service (QoS) tools, ensuring essential applications maintain the performance needed to meet demanding service levels.
