We will describe the various QoS tools for implementing the DiffServ QoS model. The following figure depicts these tools as used on a router/switch:
Let's discuss these tools in detail in the upcoming sections.
Harpreet Singh has more than 20 years of experience in the data domain and has been
designing and implementing networks and solutions across technologies from X.25, FR,
ATM, TCP/IP, and MPLS-based networks. Harpreet is a gold medalist and earned his
bachelor of engineering degree before completing his postgraduate diploma in business
administration. He has been a part of the faculty at the Advanced Level Telecom Training
Center, a premier institute under the UNDP program for the training of telecom officers,
where he conducted training on data networks, including technologies such as X.25, Frame
Relay, ATM, Siemens Switches, and IP/ MPLS networks.
Harpreet has been a part of the core team for multiple pan-India network rollouts ranging
from plain IP to Carrier Ethernet and MPLS. He has been involved with all major service
providers in India. He was the network architect for the first pan-India IP network in 1997,
the first MPLS network rollout in India in 2002, and the largest MetroE deployment in the
world at the time in 2004. He was the technical director for the largest ever mobile backhaul
IP network based on an IP/MPLS network. He is currently a technology consultant at Cisco
Systems, engaged in large and complex cross-technology projects for strategic customers,
advising them on network design, operations, and digital transformations.
Harpreet has been a speaker at forums such as APRICOT, IETE, and other international
conferences. He can be reached at harpreet_singh_2000@yahoo.com.

Let's discuss these tools in detail in the upcoming sections.
Traffic conditioning is performed at the edges of a DiffServ domain. Traffic conditioners perform traffic shaping and policing functions to ensure that traffic entering the DiffServ domain conforms to the rules specified by the Traffic Conditioning Agreement (TCA) and complies with the service provisioning policy of the domain. Traffic conditioning may range from simple code point re-marking to complex policing and shaping operations.
