The book is devided into three different parts:
1st. Brief introduction of QoS concepts
2nd. The main one. A comprehensive description of how the theoretical concepts introduced in the first part are implemented in Alcatel-Lucent Service Routers.
3rd. A brief case study about how to design the QoS of an IP/MPLS network of Alcatel-Lucent Service Routers.

This book is compulsory for somebody studing to get Alcatel-Lucent certifications and also, as a reference book, for Alcatel-Lucent Service Routers' networks architects who are responsible for IP/MPLS networks QoS design.
If you are looking for a book of theory about QoS in IP/MPLS networks, this is not your book, as it is mainly focused on how QoS policies can be implemented in Alcatel Lucent Service Routers.
Before reading the book, I would also recommend becoming familiar with Service Router's concepts like SAPs, SDPs, how services are configured, etc. It will help you to better understand the frequent command line interface listings.
Mr. Balakrishnan is able to clearly describe a very complex issue like the implementation of QoS policies in a routing platform is and provides the reader with valuable 'best-practices' for Alcatel-Lucent's Service Routers' QoS policies design and also with command line interface listings.
In a nutshell, this book gives you an extraordinary description of all the possibilities that IP/MPLS networks, consisting of Alcatel Lucent Service Routers, offer, when defining their QoS policies.
