Differentiated quality of service
This book provides a deep insight into providing the differentiated services in the traditional model of Internet Protocol. It also provides a wide perspective on the quality of service,congestion and control techniques. It impels us into providing Differentiated services the want inspite of overprovisioning of bandwidth. The Book lacks one element to include the multi protocol label switching technology which is in the developmental phase and is l is likely to be implemented with diffserv.

I cannot believe my eyes!
I really cannot believe my eyes. The back cover says: "Coverage includes: Mastering the Resource Reservation Protocol" and "QOS in Wide Area Networks includes detailed coverage of ... MPLS". RSVP is barely mentioned in the book. It is simply named on page 10, 68 and it is "defined" in 54 lines in an appendix (most text is introductory). As for MPLS it is not even in the analitic index and I was not able to find reference to it elsewhere. I think law should forbid these behaviours. I am surprised Prentice Hall (which I always knew as a very serious publisher) did this.
