QOS

[levan5540]

Hello team, 

I'm just wondering if there is a way to proof to a colleague that setting up QOS will make no difference because utilization is low?

How do I do this on ASA5510? How do I get the report generated?

Could you please give me scenarios where having QOS would not make sense?

Many thanks,

Leo

"Low" utilization may not show there's no need for QoS, if fact, "low" utilization can sometimes be because there's no QoS.

When QoS isn't need, is when congestion isn't possible.  For example a single ingress's bandwidth is less or equal then a single egress's bandwidth.

Hi Joseph, 

Thank you very much for the response. 

Is there a way to generate a report monitor congestion on ASA?

Measure ingress/egress bandwidth?

Many thanks,

Leo

Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the ASA's reporting capabilities.
