QoS for IP/MPLS Networks

Introduction

The motivation behind this book is the continued interest in the implementation of quality of service (QoS) in IP/MPLS networks. QoS arises as a key requirement for these networks, which have become the preferred technology platform for building converged networks that support multiple services. The topic can be one of the most complex aspects of the network design, implementation, and operation. Despite the importance of and interest in this topic, no other Cisco Press title provides a detailed discussion of this subject. A significant amount of the content of this book also applies to pure IP networks that do not have immediate plans to migrate to a full IP/MPLS network.

This material covers both QoS and Multiprotocol Label Switching ...
