Quality
of Service (QoS) in the Microsoft® Windows Server™ “Longhorn” (now in beta
testing) and Windows Vista™ (now in beta testing) operating systems helps alleviate
network congestion issues while optimizing traffic to the available bandwidth by providing
centralized management of traffic sent by network hosts. By using QoS in a Windows
Server “Longhorn” and Windows Vista environment, an IT department can define flexible
policies deployed through Active Directory® directory service Group Policy objects
to prioritize or throttle outbound network traffic without requiring modifications
to existing applications. QoS policies apply to outbound traffic based on any or all
of the following conditions: sending application, source or destination IP address,
protocol, and source or destination port. This paper is intended for IT planners and
analysts who are evaluating Windows Server “Longhorn” and Windows Vista, enterprise
IT architects who focus on Active Directory and Group Policies, and network architects
responsible for network performance and cost control.
