Quality of Service White Papers

Optimize the performance of applications delivered across third-party Cisco networks

Overview This sample chapter, taken from Optimizing Applications on Cisco Networks, discusses how to incorporate business criteria into the application performance-monitoring (APM) process of a system with noncentralized control.

In a system with noncentralized control, it's important to observe specific conditions (metrics) at the demarcation points so that you can gain a quick and inductive view of the application's performance.

This sample chapter, taken from Optimizing Applications on Cisco Networks, discusses how to collect demarcation point metrics, which will assist in reassigning responsibility or escalating requirements and issues to third-party organizations. This chapter covers the following topics:

Business requirements overview
Assessing demarcation points
Recognizing your limits
Meeting service needs
Assigning the correct QoS system
