Quality of Service in Alberta School Jurisdictions

No QoS

QoS at Customer Edge Device only

Switch Priority – Important stuff is connected to switches, everything else on hubs.

Port priority – Devices requiring QoS are connected to a switch, and their port has priority

VLAN Tagging – QoS devices are tagged with a separate VLAN which has priority

Diffserv – Tagging specific applications, and switches ensure appropriate tag gets priority

IP Precedence

Mega bandwidth – I’ve put massive amounts of bandwidth into my network, so QoS isn’t a worry

QoS Implementations in Alberta School Jurisdictions: A Case Study. This survey is part of a Masters Dissertation project through the University of Liverpool. You'll be helping me out greatly if you could participate! The intent of the survey is to determine the level of readiness of Alberta School Jurisdictions for incorporating Quality of Service (QoS) on their networks, and to determine those jurisdictions who would be interested in participating as part of the case study. Responses to this survey will remain confidential, however, summary data will be shared with Alberta Education, and should you be interested and willing to participate in the case study, some of your responses may be published anonymously. This survey should take no longer than 5 - 10 minutes to complete. If you have any questions before or after completing the survey, please contact: Todd Kennedy Director of Technology Pembina Hills Regional Division #7 [email protected] When you are ready to start the survey, please click the Continue button below. Are you planning on using SuperNet as part of your Wide Area Network (WAN)? Yes No Does your jurisdiction utilize any applications that are sensitive to bandwidth, delay, jitter, or packet loss? Yes No Not sure what delay and jitter are Which applications are you using that are sensitive to bandwidth, delay, jitter, or packet loss? Voice over IP (VoIP) Video Conferencing Other How are you planning on addressing these network sensitivity issues? No Plans Significant Bandwidth I've got full QoS for these applications Other What is your primary network infrastructure? Hubs Dumb switches – no QoS Mix of hubs and switches, no QoS Mix of hubs and switches, QoS where necessary Fully switched, not using QoS Fully switched, full QoS enabled Other Do you think it’s necessary to worry about QoS? Yes No, because Is your jurisdiction using any type of bandwidth management? (ie. Gatekeepers, Proxy Servers, etc.? No Yes, we are using (describe): What are your plans for incorporating Quality of Service (QoS) on your network? No plans – not important at this time SuperNet does my QoS for me I’m hoping to incorporate QoS throughout my network Already established end-to-end QoS What methods of QoS are you planning on, or have incorporated? No QoS QoS at Customer Edge Device only Switch Priority – Important stuff is connected to switches, everything else on hubs. Port priority – Devices requiring QoS are connected to a switch, and their port has priority VLAN Tagging – QoS devices are tagged with a separate VLAN which has priority Diffserv – Tagging specific applications, and switches ensure appropriate tag gets priority IP Precedence Mega bandwidth – I’ve put massive amounts of bandwidth into my network, so QoS isn’t a worry Other Would you be willing to participate in a follow-up interview, and perhaps be part of the case study process of this project? Yes No - I'm tired of surveys! Full Name Jurisdiction E-Mail Address
