Re: Reporting Quality of Service data in sFlow

Hello Peter,

I am interesting about it. But, I have some question.

Q1) I can't image how to implement to a device.
Is this function builded in Media Gateway or Session Border Controller
instead of Router or Switch?

Q2) If you know products that already have this function, please introduce
it to us. I would like to try to evaluate this products.

regards,
Kobayashi Atsushi
