Synopsis

Deploying QoS for IP Next Generation Networks: The Definitive Guide provides network architects and planners with insight into the various aspects that drive QoS deployment for the various network types. It serves as a single source of reference for businesses that plan to deploy a QoS framework for voice, video, mobility and data applications creating a converged infrastructure. It further provides detailed design and implementation details for various service deployments across the various Cisco platforms such as the CRS-1, 12000, 7600 & 7200 series routers that are widely deployed in most Carrier Networks.

The book covers architectural and implementation specific information plus recommendations for almost all the popular line cards across the various hardware platforms widely used in the market. It also addresses QoS architecture and deployment on the Cisco CRS-1 platform and is considered as a unique selling point of this book.

In short the books serve as an "On the Job Manual" which can also be used as a study guide for Cisco specialist certification programs (CCNA, CCIP, CCIE)

This book will includes detailed illustration and configurations. In addition, it provides detailed case studies along with platform specific tests and measurement results. A link to a detailed tutorial on QoS metrics and associated test results will be available at the book's companion website in order to ensure that the reader is able to understand QoS functionality from a deployment standpoint.

• Covers the requirements and solutions in deploying QoS for voice, video, IPTV, mobility and data traffic classes (Quad-play networks), saving the reader time in searching for hardware specific QoS information, given the abundance of Cisco platforms and line cards.
• Presents real-life deployments by means of detailed case studies, allowing the reader to apply the same solutions to situations in the work place.
• Provides QoS architecture and implementation details on Cisco CRS-1, 12000, 7600, and 7200 routing platforms using Cisco IOS/IOS-XR software, aiding the reader in using these devices and preparing for Cisco specialist certification.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Deploying QoS for Cisco IP and Next Generation Networks provides a single source of reference for businesses planning to deploy a QoS framework for quad-play (voice, data, video, and mobility), creating a converged infrastructure. Design and implementation details for various service deployments across Cisco platforms are presented including the Cisco CRS-1 routers. Architectural and implementation-specific information is covered along with recommendations for a wealth of the popular line cards across the assorted hardware platforms in the market. This information aids in the design and set up of QoS for carriers, enterprises, and campus/switched networks. Information on QoS architecture and implementation on both Cisco IOS and IOS-XR software are covered. Emphasis is laid on the topics of QoS Monitoring, measurement and provisioning, to lay the foundation for effective management of QoS infrastructures.

Detailed case studies present real life deployments, and highlight solutions to situations that could occur in the execution. The guidelines and techniques highlighted serve as a valuable reference for building a scalable QoS framework for today’s network infrastructure that will meet the needs of tomorrow’s size.
