QoS in Switches: CoS Trust Boundaries
Cisco switches perform most Quality of Service (QoS) operations in hardware, while routers perform QoS functions in software. It is best practice to use the switch to perform deep packet classification and marking functionality on the switches. The router will need to re-classify the packet, but the classification can be on the DSCP marking rather than a transport layer port number. Most Cisco switches do not support the NBAR classification mechanism which can look into the layer 7 header of a packet (up to 400 bytes).

DNS news and tips
DNS is not secure and is extremely vulnerable. DNS is at the core of every connection we make on the Internet.
