In this white paper, we are going to discuss the application of QoS to networks with media flows installed within them, such as voice and video. We'll see that it is very unnatural for voice to even exist on a data network, because it was never designed to do so. 

QoS can be used in converged networks to provide voice packets priority access to resources, or it can be used to differentiate data packets from different application stream and provide access to resources according to policy. 

To optimize VoIP deployments, Blue Coat is driving a new generation of solutions designed to accelerate converged IP voice and data networks. With Blue Coat's Application Delivery Network (ADN), IT can deploy comprehensive application visibility, security and acceleration technologies to deliver the highest quality VoIP transactions possible.
