QoS marking is performed by the endpoints involved in the conversation – Lync clients, Lync Front-End servers, Lync Mediation servers, Lync phones and media gateways. The purpose of this post is a simple (relative term) summary of the changes required to enable QoS. Elan Shudnow has two comprehensive posts on QoS 1 and 2 but combine these with the Microsoft documentation there is a bit of information overload. From what I can see there are no QoS specific changes between Lync 2010 and Lync 2013, other than the documentation seems to have been improved – especially for the client QoS section.Īs there is so much documentation and no hard recommendations it can seem a bit overwhelming.
There is the Word document Enabling Quality of Service with Microsoft Lync Server 2010, TechNet for QoS on Lync 2010 and TechNet for QoS on Lync 2013. Microsoft have published a lot of documentation about Quality of Service (QoS) with Lync.
