Quality of Service in IP Networks

By Grenville Armitage

Quality of Service is a fast growing area of technology, being driven by the growth of real-time applications such as voice over IP. This book is perfect for the technical professionals who are looking for information building blocks of Quality of Service and who need to grasp critical concepts such as the DiffServ and IntServ models and the use of MPLS to support the next generation of VPNs. Network architects, network engineers, and network designers will use the authoritative guide to understand the different emerging technologies that can be used to archive Quality of Service, and to decide how to incorporate them into their networks and meet the needs of their particular network environment. Quality of Service in IP Networks presents a great deal of technical detail, as well as provides a clear understanding of the architectural issues surrounding delivering QoS in an IP network, and its positions in the emerging technologies within a framework of solutions.

Great book about QoS - and more!

This book is remarkable. It manages to provide a thorough up-to-date coverage of everything you always wanted to know about QoS but were even more afraid to ask than about the original 3-letter thing. Not only it educates in the current state of the QoS affairs, but also I think I learned enough to follow on with evolving technologies and approaches. Then of course, you cannot really talk about QoS without referring to all major Internet/TCP/IP mechanisms. So as an added bonus, the book provides lots of concise but comprehensive refreshers on IP addressing, router architecture, LAN technologies, end user applications, etc. The book is easy to read. It makes a good weekend reading that allows you to update your resume on Monday with "QoS expert".
