Scenario details: Verifying that the policy is working

This topic contains information about using the monitor to verify that the policy is working as you configured it to work.

1. On the Quality of Service (QoS) Server Configuration window, select Server > Monitor. The QoS Monitor window opens.

2. Select the integrated services policy type. This displays all the integrated service policies.

   The most interesting fields are the fields that obtain their data from your traffic. Make sure to check the bits total, bits in-profile, and packets in-profile fields. Bits out-of-profile indicate that other traffic is getting delayed or dropped to satisfy this integrated services policy requirements. For a full description of the monitor fields, see Monitoring QoS.

   Remember that the results are only accurate when the policy is active. Verify the schedule you specified within the policy. Also, the monitor only shows Integrated service policies after the applications are running. A ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) reservation has to be established before monitoring.
