Stop Letting Background Traffic Ruin Your VoIP Calls.
If voice, video, and critical apps compete equally with file transfers and cloud backups - your most important traffic loses every time there's congestion.
SRS Networks implements end-to-end QoS policies - classifying traffic, marking DSCP values, configuring priority queuing, and shaping WAN traffic - so your network always delivers for what matters most.
Every Packet Treated Equally Is a Performance Problem
Default network behavior treats a VoIP call the same as a software download. That's fine when bandwidth is unlimited. When it isn't - and it never is - real-time traffic suffers first and most.
Choppy VoIP Calls Nobody Can Explain
Users complain about choppy audio, dropped calls, and one-sided conversations. The problem isn't the phone system - it's the network treating VoIP packets the same as file downloads.
Video Conferences That Buffer and Freeze
A single large file transfer or backup job during a Teams or Zoom meeting can saturate uplink bandwidth and kill the call. Without QoS, there's no way to protect real-time traffic.
Slow ERP and CRM During Peak Hours
Business-critical applications slow to a crawl at 10 a.m. when everyone's in the office. The applications aren't broken - they're losing the bandwidth fight to background traffic.
No Traffic Prioritization in Place
If you have a flat network with no traffic marking or queuing policies, every packet - a VoIP call, a YouTube stream, a ransomware backup - gets the exact same treatment.
Bandwidth Consumed by Non-Business Traffic
Software updates, cloud backups, and personal video streaming consume the same pipe as your core business applications. Without shaping policies, the important traffic always loses.
End-to-End QoS That Works Across Your Entire Network.
QoS only works when it's consistent from end to end. A single device with an incorrect DSCP trust boundary undoes every policy downstream. SRS Networks designs QoS architectures that cover every hop - access switches, distribution, core, WAN edge, and wireless - and validates them with real traffic before we hand anything off.
Complete QoS Deployment from Classification to Validation
From traffic classification design through DSCP marking, queuing configuration, WAN shaping, and post-deployment validation - SRS Networks owns every phase.
Traffic Classification & Marking
We identify every traffic class in your environment - VoIP, video, ERP, backup, best-effort - and mark packets with the correct DSCP values so every device downstream treats them appropriately.
Queuing & Scheduling
Priority queuing (PQ), Low Latency Queuing (LLQ), and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) configured on every switch and router so voice and video packets are never stuck behind bulk transfers.
WAN Traffic Shaping
Your WAN link is usually the bottleneck. We configure traffic shaping and policing at the edge to ensure business-critical applications get guaranteed bandwidth - even under congestion.
Validation & Monitoring
We don't just configure and walk away. We validate QoS policies with real traffic, confirm DSCP markings are preserved end-to-end, and set up monitoring to catch regressions.
Flat Network vs. SRS QoS-Optimized Network
What changes when you stop treating every packet the same and start enforcing intelligent traffic prioritization across your entire infrastructure.
Who Needs QoS - and Why
Any organization running real-time traffic on a shared network needs QoS. These are the environments where the impact of getting it right is most immediate.
VoIP Call Quality Improvement
Voice traffic is delay-sensitive and jitter-intolerant. Properly configured LLQ and DSCP EF marking guarantees sub-150ms one-way delay for every call - eliminating the choppy audio complaints for good.
Video Conferencing Prioritization
Teams, Zoom, and Webex meetings need consistent bandwidth and low latency. QoS policies identify video conferencing flows and protect them from bulk traffic - even when the network is under load.
Healthcare Imaging Traffic
PACS and radiology imaging systems move large DICOM files that can saturate shared links. QoS ensures imaging traffic gets appropriate bandwidth without starving real-time clinical communications.
Manufacturing SCADA and IoT
Industrial control systems and SCADA traffic require consistent, low-latency delivery. QoS policies prioritize OT traffic and protect it from IT workloads competing on converged infrastructure.
QoS That's Validated With Real Traffic - Not Just Config.
Most QoS engagements end when the configuration is applied. We end ours when the traffic confirms it's working. We test voice call quality, measure jitter and latency, verify DSCP preservation end-to-end, and hand off documentation that your team can actually use. Configuration without validation isn't a QoS deployment - it's a guess.
