The complete resource for understanding and deploying IP quality of service for Cisco networks
Learn to deliver and deploy IP QoS and MPLS-based traffic engineering by understanding:
Quality-of-service (QoS) technologies provide networks with greater reliability in delivering applications, as well as control over access, delay, loss, content quality, and bandwidth. IP QoS functions are crucial in today's scalable IP networks. These networks are designed to deliver reliable and differentiated Internet services by enabling network operators to control network resources and use. Network planners, designers, and engineers need a thorough understanding of QoS concepts and features to enable their networks to run at maximum efficiency and to deliver the new generation of time-critical multimedia and voice applications.
IP Quality of Service serves as an essential resource and design guide for anyone planning to deploy QoS services in Cisco networks. Author Srinivas Vegesna provides complete coverage of Cisco IP QoS features and functions, including case studies and configuration examples. The emphasis is on real-world application-going beyond conceptual explanations to teach actual deployment.
IP Quality of Service is written for internetworking professionals who are responsible for designing and maintaining IP services for corporate intranets and for service provider network infrastructures. If you are a network engineer, architect, manager, planner, or operator who has a rudimentary knowledge of QoS technologies, this book will provide you with practical insights on what you need to consider when designing and implementing various degrees of QoS in the network. Because incorporating some measure of QoS is an integral part of any network design process, IP Quality of Service applies to all IP networks-corporate intranets, service provider networks, and the Internet.

This review is from: IP Quality of Service (Hardcover)
If you want to understand the mysteries of IP QOS and/or need to implement QOS in a Cisco environment, this book is an absolute must have. The writing is crystal clear. Srinivas provides the kind of examples and illustrations that can make fairly complex concepts understandable to anyone who needs to make the most of their networks and support time-critical applications. Virtually every topic includes detailed configs using the latest Cisco IOS. An excellent balance of theory and practical guidance. Very well edited considering its timeliness. Grenville Armitage's "Quality of Service in IP Networks" also deserves a place on your bookshelf, but if you have to choose, "IP QOS" is the one to get.

My first bad review for a Cisco Press book. They have to agree that this book should never have been printed with Cisco's name on it.This book lacks information in so many ways. Read the section on CBWFQ and you get 1/3 of what you're looking for. I have to use Cisco's website for the rest. The FRTS section is lacking. These are just 2 examples in a book that is 1/3 the size it should be. Don't buy this book. It's simply not worth the money. No hard feelings toward the author, but I did waste my money and I have to tell others not to. I'll look forward to the next release of this book which I'm sure will include much, much more.

This is a fabulous book if you want to know how the Qos mechanisms work. This guy is a degreed engineer, not somebody who has a B.S. in B.S. and is in a job called "engineer". And his book reflects that.That said, there are a few points to be made. This isn't a configuration book...it's a "nuts and bolts" book. Try the W. Odom book for configuration. Also, this book is rapidly becoming outdated. Policing explains CAR, but CAR is outdated in favor of Class Based Policing, which doesn't work the same way as CAR at all! Get the Odom book first. If you're still curious about the nuts and bolts, buy this one. |
