Whiteboard Series: Christmas Outtakes:


It’s the week of Christmas, which means that, chances are, if you’re reading this, you’re the hardcore, Network Performance Daily demographic. Either that, or you used up all your vacation days back in November, by zorbing.

Anyway, while we're out, we thought you’d enjoy these outtakes of Ben Erwin’s Whiteboard Series.


Which brings us to another point. We’re currently looking at ways to do more Whiteboard Series in the new year, and if you have any ideas for how to bring up the production values or content you’d like to see us cover – feel free to leave a comment below or to e-mail me at brian.boyko@netqos.com.


We'll be back next week.

Whiteboard Series: How To Manage QoS In Your Environment, Part 1 of 3


Ben Erwin starts off a three-part Whiteboard Series installment on how to manage QoS in your environment. In this first episode, “Leveraging Cisco Tools: Using CBQoS & NetFlow to Manage QoS Policies in Your Environment” Ben goes from the Whiteboard to actual CBQoS monitoring in the NetQoS Performance Center, illustrating some of the problems that can occur with QoS, and what steps to take to resolve them.

Below you’ll find the embedded video, now in widescreen YouTube HD. (Yes, we are aware of the irony of telling you how to watch out for things like, say, excessive YouTube traffic, with an excessively large YouTube video.) A low definition version can be found here.
