Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of technologies that
work on a network to guarantee its ability to dependably run high-priority
applications and traffic under limited network capacity. QoS technologies
accomplish this by providing differentiated handling and capacity
allocation to specific flows in network traffic. This enables the
network administrator to assign the order in which traffic is handled,
and the amount of bandwidth afforded to traffic.
Palo Alto Networks Application Quality of Service (QoS) provides
basic QoS applied to networks and extends it to provide QoS to applications
and users.
Use the following topics to learn about and configure Palo Alto
Networks application-based QoS:
Use the Palo Alto Networks
product comparison tool to
view the QoS features supported on your firewall model. Select two
or more product models and click
Compare Now to
view QoS feature support for each model (for example, you can check
if your firewall model supports QoS on subinterfaces and if so,
the maximum number of subinterfaces on which QoS can be enabled).
QoS on Aggregate Ethernet (AE) interfaces is supported on PA-7000
Series, PA-5450, PA-5200 Series, PA-3200 Series, and PA-400 Series
firewalls running PAN-OS 7.0 or later release versions.
