QoS internet

I need the mean of QoS internet, aplications, traffic, RSVP

Finally... A working definition of QoS

QoS is one of the currently _hot_ buzzwords that upper management reads about, perhaps in InfoWeek or the like. But what does QoS mean exactly?Although this book (the only one of its kind as far as I know) is short on practical examples, it shines when defining the networking/business definitons ( & lack thereof) in describing QoS.I have used this book to help define the terms we use when discussing the outcome of implementing custom prioritization on a global 25K node network.Oftentimes, in any large organization, defining a standard set of concepts is key to strategic planning - it's the old elephant/blind men story. This book helped me to define & , more importantly, manage expectations. In addition, it has proven useful in our procurement planning.If you are looking for sample configs, then go to CCO, or Bay or whatever. In fact, if you are simply looking for configs, then you probably should not be attempting many of these CoS implementations; because, unlike router configuration, these techniques could be more appropriately termed, "router tuning".I enjoyed the read & found it well written (I've edited several technical books). Other books will be written concerning this topic, as QoS is a rapidly moving target. Ferguson & Huston have set the baseline.
