QoS Support on the Catalyst 4000 CatOS Family of
Switches
Catalyst 4000 CatOS switches provide for QoS classification and congestion management
solely based on CoS values. The Catalyst 4000 IOS switches, discussed in Chapter 7,
support a wider range of QoS. For the Catalyst 4000 CatOS switches, a high- and low-
priority transmit port queue with round-robin scheduling accomplish congestion
management. The Catalyst 4000 CatOS switches do not support policing or input sched-
