Class of Service Overview

Class of Service (CoS) is a collection of calling permissions and restrictions that you assign to individual users or groups of users. (The terms calling permissions and calling restrictions are used interchangeably in this chapter.)

Note

CoS as it applies to telephony networks holds a completely different meaning than its application in quality of service (QoS). CoS in telephony means the implementation of calling restrictions, whereas CoS in data networking means the application of a data link layer marking in a data frame.

Examples of class-of-service permissions are as follows:

Cisco CallManager uses partitions, calling search spaces, and time-of-day routing to implement class-of-service restrictions.
