Deploying QoS For Cisco IP and Next-Generation Networks

'Deploying QoS for IP Next Generation Networks: The Definitive Guide' provides network architects and planners with insight into the various aspects that drive QoS deployment for the various network types. It serves as a single source of reference for businesses that plan to deploy a QoS framework for voice, video, mobility and data applications creating a converged infrastructure.

The book covers architectural and implementation specific information plus recommendations for almost all the popular line cards across the various hardware platforms widely used in the market. It also addresses QoS architecture and deployment on the Cisco CRS-1 platform and is considered as a unique selling point of this book. In short the books serve as an "On the Job Manual" which can also be used as a study guide for Cisco specialist certification programs (CCNA, CCIP, CCIE)

This book will includes detailed illustration and configurations. In addition, it provides detailed case studies along with platform specific tests and measurement results. A link to a detailed tutorial on QoS metrics and associated test results will be available at the book's companion website in order to ensure that the reader is able to understand QoS functionality from a deployment standpoint.

Key features:
- Details the requirements and solutions for deploying QoS for quad-play networks
- Provides information on QoS architecture adn implementation on Cisco routing platforms using Cisco IOS/IOS-XR software
- Examines QoS monitoring, measurements, and provisioning
