Develop cost-effective, long-term solutions to your network traffic control problems.

Even if you can find the money to do it, overengineering your network will not solve your traffic flow problems. As the authors of this groundbreaking guide clearly demonstrate, the best long-term solution to network congestion and bottlenecks can be found in a set of Quality of Service (QoS) architectures, policies, and technologies known as differentiated Classes of Service (CoS).

Quality of Service is a valuable working resource for technical managers charged with solving the problem of how to handle the exploding volume of traffic on their companies' networks. The authors explore the roots of the current network traffic control crisis and they provide a realistic assessment of the gamut of standard, new, and emerging QoS/CoS technologies. They consider all crucial, design, cost, and support issues surrounding quality of service deployment for all types of networks, including intranets and multimedia networks. And they provide managers with a rational framework for finding the most cost-effective QoS/CoS solutions to their organizations' long-term networking goals.

Key technical issues covered include:
* Queuing disciplines, traffic shaping, and admission control techniques
* Quality and differentiation hooks found in TCP/IP
* Getting the most out of Frame Relay and ATM technologies
* QoS/CoS techniques for dial-up services
* Integrated Services Architecture and RSVP.

From the Publisher

Quality of Service is becoming a critical differentiating factor in the data networking world. This books discusses the concepts of Quality of Service and the differentiated Classes of Service, as well as examines the various methods used to deliver Quality of Service over different networks.

Ok but not so great

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2000

I had high hopes for this book but after reading the book, it left me craving for more. I think its because of the subject matter itself. QoS is an elusive topic and the war of religious proportions between IP and ATM proponents make it even more vague at times. The first few chapters are a good introduction for someone new to the topic of QoS. The author(s) lost me on the Integrated Services topic.
As for later chapters, for example, MPLS, the description is just so so. Definately 'Switching in IP networks' by Rekhter is a mother on that topic.
Other than that, lot of editorial and spelling mistakes. Wake up Wiley Publishing! On page 83 for instance, spell checker did not catch 'theto' and 'layer 813'.

Finally... A working definition of QoS

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 1998

QoS is one of the currently _hot_ buzzwords that upper management reads about, perhaps in InfoWeek or the like.
But what does QoS mean exactly?
Although this book (the only one of its kind as far as I know) is short on practical examples, it shines when defining the networking/business definitons (& lack thereof) in describing QoS.
I have used this book to help define the terms we use when discussing the outcome of implementing custom prioritization on a global 25K node network.
Oftentimes, in any large organization, defining a standard set of concepts is key to strategic planning - it's the old elephant/blind men story. This book helped me to define & , more importantly, manage expectations. In addition, it has proven useful in our procurement planning.
If you are looking for sample configs, then go to CCO, or Bay or whatever. In fact, if you are simply looking for configs, then you probably should not be attempting many of these CoS implementations; because, unlike router configuration, these techniques could be more appropriately termed, "router tuning".
I enjoyed the read & found it well written (I've edited several technical books). Other books will be written concerning this topic, as QoS is a rapidly moving target. Ferguson & Huston have set the baseline.
