Product Description
From the basics to the most advanced quality-of-service (QoS) concepts, this book aims to offer professionals an in-depth understanding of the latest technical issues raised by the emergence of new types of internet services. It provides end-to-end QoS guidance for real-time multimedia communications over the internet, and shows where and when it is preferable to use certain techniques for QoS support in networks and internet traffic. This practical resource discusses key standards and protocols, and features numerous examples and graphs that illustrate important concepts. It includes case studies that show how to build networks supporting Quality of Service. This book serves as a text for: software developers and researchers; network engineers, designers and managers; and graduate students in advanced QoS courses and related courses.

Up-to-date, broad-coverage, and in-depth coverage of QoS March 5, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I am a full-time network engineer engaged in the development of a global satellite-based network and a part time university instructor.

This is an exceptionally well-written (understandable), thorough discussion of virtually all engineering aspects of Internet QoS. What I like best about this book is its concise, clear, technically treatment of a wide range of Internet QoS topics. For example, the number of RFCs is overwhelming for DiffServ, IntServ, MPLS, Bandwidth Brokers, Traffic Engineering, Policy-based management, etc.. Worse, these RFCs form a patchwork of information. This book extracts the essence of the RFCs and many technical papers on each of these topics, and presents a coherent picture of the whole field. QoS is very much in-flux and this book further adds value by including an 'on-going research' section at the end of each chapter which I found very helpful. Furthermore, the book has very solid technical and quantitative depth.

I strongly recommmend this book for engineers and technically competent engineering managers. For those lost in the QoS field, it gives all sorts of references to RFCs and papers that allow you to dive into a particular area. QoS is very much in-flux at this time. This book is the best of the QoS books (and I have bought a bunch of them) for those needing a technical understanding of Internet QoS.
