Cisco EasyQoS APIC-EM Solution Overview
Why Consider an SDN QoS Solution?
• QoS is application-centric
• QoS is pervasive
• QoS is complex
• SDN presents new QoS capabilities
(e.g. Dynamic QoS)

EasyQoS Solution
Applications can interact with APIC-EM via Northbound
APIs, informing the network of application-specific and
