1) Hardcover Book End-to-End QoS Network Design: Quality of Service in LANs, WANs, and VPNs (Networking Technology) by Cisco Press. It´s a great book for a network engineer. I think it should be a must for any person who is looking to be a great network designer.¤

2) Hardcover Book End-to-End QoS Network Design: Quality of Service in LANs, WANs, and VPNs (Networking Technology) by Cisco Press. This book provides good coverage on the technical side. If you are also interested in the commercial/economic and regulatory side of QoS, then this book may be useful too:

3) Hardcover Book End-to-End QoS Network Design: Quality of Service in LANs, WANs, and VPNs (Networking Technology) by Cisco Press. The Broadband hype of converged networking, things like IPTV, VOIP, H.323, will never work without QoS. Now even the Microsoft Vista Kernel has QoS.

This is a great book about end-to-end QoS pratical examples, code, methods along with solid explanations of why and how. A must read for both LAN and WAN people. QoS is still diffcult but this book finally details practical standards that can be adhered too.

4) Hardcover Book End-to-End QoS Network Design: Quality of Service in LANs, WANs, and VPNs (Networking Technology) by Cisco Press. "Indispensable" is the one word which best describes this work. (In the interest of full disclosure, I´ve known Christina Hattingh for several years. As I´ve written in the acknowledgements of my books she is "one of the finest engineers I´ve known and worked with." I´ve never met Tim Szigeti.)

The authors have put together an outstanding work which incorporates real world experience, lucid explanations (see the section on ´qos pre-classify´ on p.649, for example), and a wealth of configuration examples, show and debug command outputs.

If you need to "do" QoS, especially in a converged network, the contents of this book will be invaluable.¤

5) Hardcover Book End-to-End QoS Network Design: Quality of Service in LANs, WANs, and VPNs (Networking Technology) by Cisco Press. When this book first arrived at my doorstep, I figured it would be a quick read, a review of information I was already fairly comfortable with, and just another presentation of the same-old material. I couldn´t have been more wrong! Over the last several months, a number of hours have been devoted to leafing through the pages of valuable information, learning something new every time! Szigeti and Hattingh have done a superb job in putting this reference together. From the basic fundamental concepts of QoS, to the tuning and optimization of QoS policies, this book covers it all pretty well. QoS design considerations, both on the campus as well as the WAN, are covered in a way that is easy to understand. A significant amount of material is dedicated to explaining QoS support on the various models of Cisco Catalyst switches, with a solid breakdown of each. A number of case studies guide you through real-world examples of how QoS technologies are best leveraged, in clear, concise detail. The at-a-glance guides in the back of the book are also good reference material. For the enterprise user and service provider alike, this guide will prove to be a valuable tool when tackling in the toughest of QoS tasks. I would give this book a solid 5 on the scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being amazing! Great job with this book, keep up the good work!¤

Best-practice QoS designs for protecting voice, video, and critical data while mitigating network denial-of-service attacks

• Understand the service-level requirements of voice, video, and data applications
• Examine strategic QoS best practices, including Scavenger-class QoS tactics for DoS/worm mitigation
• Learn about QoS tools and the various interdependencies and caveats of these tools that can impact design considerations
• Learn how to protect voice, video, and data traffic using various QoS mechanisms
• Evaluate design recommendations for protecting voice, video, and multiple classes of data while mitigating DoS/worm attacks for the following network infrastructure architectures: campus LAN, private WAN, MPLS VPN, and IPSec VPN

Quality of Service (QoS) has already proven itself as the enabling technology for the convergence of voice, video, and data networks. As business needs evolve, so do the demands for QoS. The need to protect critical applications via QoS mechanisms in business networks has escalated over the past few years, primarily due to the increased frequency and sophistication of denial-of-service (DoS) and worm attacks.

End-to-End QoS Network Design is a detailed handbook for planning and deploying QoS solutions to address current business needs. This book goes beyond discussing available QoS technologies and considers detailed design examples that illustrate where, when, and how to deploy various QoS features to provide validated and tested solutions for voice, video, and critical data over the LAN, WAN, and VPN.

The book starts with a brief background of network infrastructure evolution and the subsequent need for QoS. It then goes on to cover the various QoS features and tools currently available and comments on their evolution and direction. The QoS requirements of voice, interactive and streaming video, and multiple classes of data applications are presented, along with an overview of the nature and effects of various types of DoS and worm attacks. QoS best-practice design principles are introduced to show how QoS mechanisms can be strategically deployed end-to-end to address application requirements while mitigating network attacks. The next section focuses on how these strategic design principles are applied to campus LAN QoS design. Considerations and detailed design recommendations specific to the access, distribution, and core layers of an enterprise campus network are presented. Private WAN QoS design is discussed in the following section, where WAN-specific considerations and detailed QoS designs are presented for leased-lines, Frame Relay, ATM, ATM-to-FR Service Interworking, and ISDN networks. Branch-specific designs include Cisco® SAFE recommendations for using Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) for known-worm identification and policing. The final section covers Layer 3 VPN QoS design-for both MPLS and IPSec VPNs. As businesses are migrating to VPNs to meet their wide-area networking needs at lower costs, considerations specific to these topologies are required to be reflected in their customer-edge QoS designs. MPLS VPN QoS design is examined from both the enterprise and service provider´s perspectives. Additionally, IPSec VPN QoS designs cover site-to-site and teleworker contexts.

Whether you are looking for an introduction to QoS principles and practices or a QoS planning and deployment guide, this book provides you with the expert advice you need to design and implement comprehensive QoS solutions.
