Synopsis

Advanced QoS for Multi-Service IP/MPLS Networks is the definitive guide to Quality of Service (QoS), with comprehensive information about its features and benefits. Find a solid theoretical and practical overview of how QoS can be implemented to reach the business objectives defined for an IP/MPLS network. Topics include standard QoS models for IP/MPLS networks, essential QoS features, forwarding classes and queuing priorities, buffer management, multipoint shared queuing, hierarchical scheduling, and rate limiting. This book will enable you to create a solid QoS architecture/design, which is mandatory for prioritizing services throughout the network.

From the Back Cover

This essential guide helps you understand the features and benefits of service-aware hierarchical Quality of Service (QoS) and how to leverage QoS in designing and implementing leading-edge IP networks. The author's vast experience provides a solid theoretical and practicaloverview of how QoS can be implemented to reach the business objectives defined for an IP/MPLS network.

The knowledge acquired from this book will enable the network professional to create a solid QoS architecture/design, which is mandatory to prioritize services throughout the network. The book is a reference I will return to again and again."
—Brent Conrad, Senior Network Architect, Bell Canada

This book educates readers on the detail operation of Quality of Service through IP/MPLS networks for converged services. I highly recommend it for network designers and test engineers."
