Function Description - QoS
Overall description of
QoS functions
Old: In the old documentation, the
QoS function implementation is
complex with multiple control
points, and the QoS function is
split into several features with
loose logical relationship in
between, which are unfavorable
for customers to understand and
deploy QoS functions.
New: The new documentation
provides QoS function
descriptions that apply to actual
deployment scenarios, including
basic services, recommended
solution, and special schemes,
helping customers understand
and deploy QoS functions.

PS Capacity Assessment Guide
Capacity
Assessment Guide
 After
deploying PS services,
carriers need to learn about
the support of current
configurations for services and
whether traffic models can be
supported under specific
events and conditions.
 In PS core networks, resource
capacities directly affect quality
of data services. Therefore,
carriers urgently require
capacity assessment and
optimization.
Capacity Assessment Guide is
provided to guide network
optimization engineers through
capacity assessment and
optimization of PS core networks.
