Designing Quality of Service Solutions for the Enterprise

There is growing pressure on network managers and their own network architects to establish QoS (Quality of Service) in their networks; that is, to make sure that their network traffic is classified in a way that allows mission-critical data to get through even if you've decided to provide data-hog applications like video-conferencing as a network service. Policy-Based Networking is the database vehicle that is created to set individual networks up to be secure QoS transporters This text covers: defining QoS, CoS, and policy-based networks in the enterprise context; application and network configuration requirements; technologies available to build QoS solutions; and how to build the selected solution.
