Description
QoS, short for “quality of service,” is one of the most important goals a network designer or administrator will have. Ensuring that the
network runs at optimal precision with data remaining accurate, traveling fast, and to the correct user are the main objectives of QoS.
The various media that fly across the network including voice, video, and data have different idiosyncrasies that try the dimensions
of the network. This malleable network architecture poses an always moving potential problem for the network professional.
The authors
have provided a comprehensive treatise on this subject. They have included topics such as traffic engineering, capacity planning, and
admission control. This book provides real world case studies of QoS in multiservice networks. These case studies remove the mystery
behind QoS by illustrating the how, what, and why of implementing QoS within networks. Readers will be able to learn from the successes
and failures of these actual working designs and configurations.
