Class of Service Definition and Pricing!

Class Of Service (CoS), when utilized within a MPLS (multiprotocol label switching) network, facilitates packet prioritization so that multiple applications, such as voice, video conferencing and routine data can be effectively transferred over one bandwidth pipe. This relatively new technology enables great cost savings and increased efficiency for businesses which in the past have needed to use multiple smaller bandwidth channels to effectively implement each application separately.

Class Of Service Definition Continued.

With CoS, each data packet is provided a priority designation, so that as packets for more important, or latency/packet loss sensitive applications, like VoIP receive highest priority as they move through a network. CoS also ensures that more routine applications such as email, receive lower priority so that they do not compete for finite bandwidth resources. Many industry insiders use the terms CoS and QoS (Quality of Service) interchangeably. However, these two terms carry two different meanings. QoS refers to performance/efficiency standards related to bandwidth circuits, whereas, CoS refers to packet prioritization within the circuit. (Click here to return to top of page)

T3 or DS3?

Writen by: Dennis Green

In the context of telecommunications, the terms T3 and DS3 are often used synonymously to describe a 45 mbps (megabits per second) circuit. A T3/DS3 is the equivalent of 28 T1s. People who are more technically inclined will often refer to DS3 when they are talking about the configuration of the circuit, and T3 if they are referring to the physical connection which carries the circuit. Most people, however, use both terms interchangeably. T3/DS3 is used for carrying both voice (in the form of data) and data traffic. T3/DS3 is commonly used for larger point-to-point circuits, MPLS (multiprotocol label switching), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), internet traffic, call centers, and videoconferencing.
