NetFlow: QoS
Networks handle different data types like data, voice, and video. Busy networks are prone to congestion, which in turn can lead to packet loss, distortion, and delay.
QoS denotes the measure of the overall performance of service. Measuring the QoS is helpful to optimize network usage, as it is based on the differentiated services code point (DSCP). The DSCP templates contain predefined DiffServ parameters and code points to monitor traffic based on the priority defined by the source device.
Navigating to the QoS tab
- Log in to Site24x7.
- Go to Network > NetFlow > NetFlow Devices > and click a device name. You can view the QoS tab at the device level.
- To view the QoS at the interface level, navigate to the Interfaces tab, click an interface name, and you view the QoS sub-tab.
QoS metrics
In the DSCP template, you can view the amount of traffic that has flowed through a particular application and port, both at the device-level and interface-level. You can obtain the traffic as both volume and percentage of traffic that has flowed.
Toggle between the IN and OUT buttons in the right corner to view the In and Out Traffic stats, respectively.
