A Comparative Analysis of QoS parameters measurement applying packet scheduling algorithms on Cisco 2800 Router with Static Routing

This work provides some criteria that allow network administrators to measure the impact of different network configurations have on voice, data, and video applications quality of service offered to the different users. For that, this project implemented tests to measure parameters such as packet loss, delay and jitter using static routing, different packet scheduling algorithms (Custom Queuing, Priority Queuing, and Weighted First Queuing), different services (voice, data, and video), and connection speeds using Cisco 2800 Routers and D-ITG traffic generator in conjunction with the Network Time Protocol synchronizer. A comparative analysis of sensitive parameters for Quality of Service was conducted to describe network behavior for each service. The implemented services presented performances according to quality requirements, reported in the literature. Specifically, the data service presented delay and jitter within the levels considered acceptable for this application and zero packet loss. For its part, the video service presented levels of delay and jitter according to the quality requirements for streaming. Finally, the voice service presented the best configuration performance with the Priority Queuing algorithm, for all measured service quality parameters.
