"This is the first book about QOS that I actually enjoyedreading precisely because the authors focused on real-life QoS andnot in academic discussions about it."
Per Nihlen, IP Network Manager, NORDUnet
The new authoritative, practical guide to delivering QOSguarantees
This new benchmark in quality of service (QOS) study is writtenby two experts in the field who deal with QOS predicaments everyday. The authors not only provide a lucid understanding of moderntheory of QOS mechanisms in packet networks but how to apply themin practice. In addition, they detail the QOS management featuresfound in modern routers used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs)and large enterprise companies and networks, all in an effort toenable network managers and engineers to configure productionnetworks with a quality of service guarantee. The book's focus onaddressing network behavior ("real effects") in relation to theconfiguration of network elements (routers and switches), is bothrefreshing and insightful.
QOS-Enabled Networks contains up-to-date coverageof:
* QOS mechanisms in packet networks and how to apply them inpractice
* QOS management features now common in modern-day routers
* How network behavior is related to configuration of networkelements
* Layer 2 VPN and QOS
* QOS in mobile LTE networks
QOS-Enabled Networks is an invaluable guide fornetworking engineers needing to provide QOS services for serviceproviders, ISPs and large enterprises, as well as for networkdesign and operations engineers.
