• Latency, Throughput & Bandwidth - QoS manages latency, throughput, and bandwidth, understanding these metrics explains QoS purpose

• OSI Model (7 Layers) - QoS operates at multiple OSI layers, understanding the model helps configure QoS

• Load Balancers (L4 vs L7) - Load balancers can implement QoS, understanding load balancers helps configure QoS

• Routing Protocols (OSPF/BGP) - Routing protocols can use QoS metrics, understanding routing helps configure QoS

• TCP vs UDP - QoS policies differ for TCP and UDP, understanding transport protocols helps configure QoS
