Introduction

Many admins believe that they can implement Lync in their organization without implementing Quality of Service (QoS) and Call Admission Control (CAC). To some extent, this is true. If the organization is only implementing a Presence (P) and Instant Messaging (IM) solution with the odd Peer to Peer (P2P) audio/video session, it might seem like a huge and costly project to implement QoS and CAC for these services. IM and P do not rely on a real-time protocol for deliverance.

Note

QoS can be described as a technique used to identify certain types of traffic to give it priority throughout the network. CAC is about limiting how much bandwidth each call can utilize or how many calls can be there between the subnets in question.
