3 of 3 people found the following review helpful AWESOME book on QOS!!!, August 25, 2003 By A Customer This review is from: Cisco DQOS Exam Certification Guide (IP Telephony Self-Study) (Hardcover) I am studying for the CCIE R/S lab and it has been very hard to find a good book on QOS until now. I have all the other books from Cisco Press on QOS and I will read them but still don't get it. To me a good technical book is one that takes a complicated subject and makes it simple to understand. This is a great technical book on QOS. This book makes it easy to understand all of the different types of QOS you might come across on the CCIE R/S lab or your DQOS exam. This is by far the best book on Cisco QOS that I have come across.

I had looked at a number of other Cisco Press and non-Cisco Press books and could not find one that adequately covered the topics in the exam. This one covers all of them and more. The book starts off by listing all the exam topics that will be covered in both DQoS 9E0-601 and QOS 642-641 exams and then explains how to interpret those often nebulous expectations. Do not get me wrong. It does not give you a blow by blow of what is on the exam but rather informs you of how test makers come up with course objectives and a method to use in studying. I found this very helpful. In fact, I wish someone had taught me that as a freshman in college. If you are familiar with Cisco Press Exam Certification Guides you will not be disappointed in the familiar format. Each chapter starts with an overview and "Do I Know This Already?" quiz. I...

Scott Sandefur (Upstate, SC, USA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Cisco DQOS Exam Certification Guide (IP Telephony Self-Study) (Hardcover) The team of Cavanaugh & Odom have hit a homerun here. This book has everything; Sex, Politics, Intrigue, Suspense, Greed, Betrayal and Redemption. Well, okay, it has none of that. But, it does have everything that the Experienced Networker could want to know about Quality of Service, and it's role and implementation within today's rapidly converging internetnetworks. The authors have proven to be knowledgeable, insightful and easy to understand. And, while this book may seem "overly long" to many, it strives to give fairly complete coverage of this important matter regarding today's internetworking environment. This is a very important point when your seeking to spend some "quality time" with a Cisco certification exam (not mention some quality cash on an exam). Cavanaugh & Odom have moved beyond the normal course of just re-editing Cisco TAC web content for bound, portable consumption that is the hallmark of many of Cisco Press' previous publications. While the layout... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink  Comment
