- Create a QoS policy that assigns a specified class of traffic to a priority queue
- Select and implement an appropriate strategy for queue scheduling
- Implement traffic policing policies that enforce the negotiated committed information rate (CIR), committed burst size (CBS), peak information rate (PIR), and excessive burst size (EBS) for a specified class of traffic
- Respond to congestion in advance by applying the appropriate traffic shaping and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED)policies
- Determine the QoS mark that an HP switch will assign to specific outbound traffic and, if necessary, adjust the mark
