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.
