For the Technical Types Implementing a system., August 11, 2006
This review is from: QoS for IP/MPLS Networks (Hardcover)
One of the real problems with the web as it was originally designed was the lack of any procedure for varying qualities of service (QoS). When only documents are being passed back and forth, the delay of a few seconds isn't important. But when you are using the internet for other applications it may be very important. For instance a gap of a few seconds between words makes a big difference when doing voice over internet protocol (VOIP). Likewise streaming video and other multimedia applications suffer when gaps in the data stream occur.
This book, published by Cisco Press, gives the Cisco view of implementing QoS over Internet Protocol. The book is basically broken down into three parts:
a technology overview,
Cisco Implementation,
Different Backbone design changes.
The book does presume some knowledge on the readers part on IP and MPLS. The intended audience of this book is the technical staff in those organizations building IP/MPLS networks.
