Expert coverage of the state of the art in quality of service implementation

Quality of Service Control in High-Speed Networks addresses the basics, theory, architectures, and technologies to implement QoS control in ATM, IP, and MPLS high-speed networks. It provides a comprehensive overview of existing QoS control techniques and describes practical approaches to their implementation.

The authors survey the most up-to-date developments in control strategies in self-contained chapters-complete with extensive reference lists-that allow study of select topics. Quality of Service Control in High-Speed Networks covers these topics and more:

  • Admission control and data communication channel acceptance
  • Traffic access control
  • Packet scheduling algorithms
  • Packet fair queuing implementation
  • Buffer management
  • Flow and congestion control
  • QoS routing
  • Basic architecture and conceptual models of differentiated services (DiffServ)
  • Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) technology
  • SONET and ATM
This comprehensive discussion of QoS technologies, techniques, and architectures suits the needs of engineering students as well as practitioners in software, hardware, and system design.
