Traffic Management with S3700-24T4F's QoS

The image illustrates how QoS enhances traffic prioritization in the S3700-24T4F switch. Comparison of networks with and without QoS shows that without QoS, networks suffer from congestion, packet loss, latency, and jitter. With QoS, traffic is efficiently managed and prioritized for optimal performance.

On the left side of the image, without QoS, data, video, and voice traffic are sent through the network without prioritization, leading to network congestion and packet loss, resulting in a clogged network and inefficient data transmission.

On the right side of the image, with QoS, traffic is classified and prioritized—high priority for data, middle priority for video, and low priority for voice. This classification and prioritization enable optimal traffic management, reducing congestion and packet loss, and ensuring that critical business traffic is transmitted efficiently.
