Introduction
This is a short guide on how to configure and verify QOS Weighted Fair Queuing on the Nexus 1000V.
This feature will only work with ESX 4.1 as we make use of Network I/O Control that was introduced by VMware in ESX 4.1
This feature allows you to create a QOS policy based off common VMware ESX traffic. From that policy you can then allocate a bandwidth percentage to that traffic class. It's very easy to setup and apply.
