Written by two experts in the field who deal with QOS predicaments every day and now in this 2nd edition give special attention to the realm of Data Centers, QoS Enabled Networks: Tools and Foundations, 2nd Edition provides a lucid understanding of modern QOS theory mechanisms in packet networks and how to apply them in practice. This book is focuses on the tools and foundations of QoS providing the knowledge to understand what benefits QOS offers and what can be built on top of it.

With a foreword by Kannan Kothandaraman "This is the first book about QOS that I actually enjoyed reading precisely because the authors focused on real-life QoS and not in academic discussions about it." Per Nihlen, IP Network Manager, NORDUnet The new authoritative, practical guide to delivering QOS guarantees This new benchmark in quality of service (QOS) study is written by two experts in the field who deal with QOS predicaments every day. The authors not only provide a lucid understanding of modern theory of QOS mechanisms in packet networks but how to apply them in practice. In addition, they detail the QOS management features found in modern routers used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and large enterprise companies and networks, all in an effort to enable network managers and engineers to configure production networks with a quality of service guarantee. The book's focus on addressing network behavior ("real effects") in relation to the configuration of network elements (routers and switches), is both refreshing and insightful. QOS-Enabled Networks contains up-to-date coverage of: QOS mechanisms in packet networks and how to apply them in practice QOS management features now common in modern-day routers How network behavior is related to configuration of network elements Layer 2 VPN and QOS QOS in mobile LTE networks QOS-Enabled Networks is an invaluable guide for networking engineers needing to provide QOS services for service providers, ISPs and large enterprises, as well as for network design and operations engineers.

Windows Operating Systems and Quality of Service Networking provides an overview of Quality of Service technologies, and how they can be implemented in a Windows based system. Author Yoram Bernet is a leading authority on Quality of Service, having been one of the main architects of many QoS technologies in the IETF and a Program Manager for QoS at Microsoft. With the rapid increase in network traffic, network professionals have been scrambling to add capacity to their networks. But new applications, such as multimedia, keep driving up the demand for network services, and network traffic continues to increase. Quality of service technologies improve this situation by making efficient use of network capacity and giving you, the network professional control over how network capacity is allocated to various applications and users. This book explains the myriad QoS technologies that play a role in a QoS enabled network, with a focus on how to implement these technologies within Windows.

&Quot;New technologies are re-writing the business cases and cost models upon which telephony has been based for years. The fast "always on" Broadband Internet is a key driver, pushing forward and enabling the delivery of multimedia applications in all types of networks.". "Service Providers want to reduce costs by converging new IP services, existing data services and traditional telephony services onto the same core network, placing expectations on network performance. Converged Multimedia Networks focuses on enabling the synergistic combination of voice, data and video on to one network and the new challenges this will present in telecommunications."--BOOK JACKET.

An analysis of broadband European networks and multimedia services. It covers: ATM in the access networks; network interconnection; multimedia communications; and multimedia quality of service.

This one-stop resource offers you complete, state-of-the-art coverage of wireless personal area networks, including critical discussions on current standards, important research, and applications in the field. The book gives you a solid overview of Bluetooth and IEEE 802.15, the foundations of WPAN technology, and explains how the Personal Operating Space (POS) concept is ushering in the WPAN revolution. It details how invisibility, automatic connection, service discovery, and security form the POS and how the POS is the universal interface in WPANs.
