A communications network forms the backbone of any successful organization. These networks support a multitude of applications and data. Networks must provide secure, predictable, measurable, and sometimes guaranteed services. Achieving the required Quality of Service (QoS) by managing the delay, delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss parameters on a network becomes the secret to a successful end-to-end business solution. QoS is the set of techniques to manage network resources.
Oslo enhances CISCO’s QoS solution by interacting with Cisco devices through the most appropriate channel (e.g. Telnet, SSH or Network Center Management (NCM)) to model QoS tests and policies, model the network, and dynamically reconfigure Cisco and non-Cisco devices. Oslo’s solution automates the way Cisco’s QoS identifies and fixes network failures.
Oslo accomplishes this by addressing three critical aspects of VoIP communications:
Packet Transmission - latency, delay, and packet loss,
Hardware Devices - routers, switches, and IPBX.
IP Traffic - traffic class, bandwidth associated to a traffic class, and queuing policy.
The Oslo QoS Solution results in significantly increased quality of service for VoIP communications.
