4. Configure Avaya Communication Manager

This section shows the steps used to configure Avaya Communication Manager. For detailed information on the installation, maintenance, and configuration of Avaya Communication Manager, refer to [1].

4.1.Configure QoS on Avaya Communication Manager

IP networks were originally designed to carry data on a best-effort delivery basis, which meant that all traffic had equal priority and an equal chance of being delivered in a timely manner. As a result, all traffic had an equal chance of being dropped when congestion occurred. To prioritize VoIP traffic, QoS is utilized and should be implemented throughout the entire network.

In order to achieve prioritization of VoIP traffic, the VoIP traffic must be classified. The Avaya S8300 Server, Avaya G700 Media Gateway, Avaya SIP Enablement Services and Avaya IP telephones support both Layer 2 802.1.p/Q priority and Layer 3 DiffServ.
