ActionPacked! Networks Releases New Cisco QoS Videos

September 15, 2010


ActionPacked! Networks, is a leading intelligent software provider for managing the Cisco (News - Alert) Quality-of-Service (QoS). It has released 10 new videos about the Cisco QoS. The videos will feature four videos from the Cisco training expert and Cisco Press author,  Kevin Wallace, along with four other videos from its new training series “How QoS Works.”

LiveAction 2.0 software has been used to auditing, monitoring, troubleshooting and configuring the QoS for up to three Cisco routers and switches. LiveAction uses rich visualization techniques and direct device interaction, thereby increasing the network service quality and shortens the outages, and provides true understanding and precise control. It achieves an expert level understanding and mastery of the network. It is an all-in-one approach to network. It captures the actual router and configures to build a highly interactive model of the network.

QoS helps to ensure that the bandwidth is properly allocated and the network applications have been properly prioritized to meet the needs of the business and the consumers. QoS can be used to detect, show, and hence, effectively block unauthorized activity on the network. LiveAction QoS simplifies the router control and makes it easy for the Cisco QoS to be implemented on any network. QoS presents pre and post-QoS graphs, congestion indicators, peak and average rate statistics, and many other features.

In a release, the Founder of ActionPacked! Networks, Nelson Kanemoto, said that, “According to Cisco’s own forecast, high bandwidth and performance sensitive business video conferencing traffic will grow ten-fold from 2009-2014. This along with the growth of other streaming video traffic will strain corporate networks and require QoS policies to differentiate and protect the applications critical to business operations. To help engineers learn the many subtleties of QoS, we decided to add more training videos on our site, and we’d like to thank Kevin Wallace for sharing his expertise with our audience as well. Moving forward, we will continue to provide more free QoS resources to anyone and everyone who needs them.”

Kevin Wallace said that, “QoS can be a daunting subject, because there are so many elements and complex topics to understand. My goal for these videos is to help demystify what I consider to be three of the more complex QoS topics. Once you understand the fundamental operation of a QoS mechanism, you can better decide how, or if, you should deploy it in your network.”
