Description

QoS is an important subject which occupies a central place in overall packet network technologies.¬† A complex subject, its analysis involves such mathematical disciplines as probability, random variables, stochastic processes and queuing.¬†These mathematical subjects are abstract, not easy to grasp for uninitiated persons. QoS in Packet Networks is written with two objectives.¬†The first explains the fundamental mathematical concepts used in QoS analysis as plainly as possible, in layman’s terms to afford the reader a better appreciation of the subject of QoS treated in this book.¬† The second¬†explains in plain language, the various parts of QoS in packet networks, to provide the reader with a complete view of this complex and dynamic area of communications networking technology.¬†Discussion of the functional requirements of the packet networks to provide QoS is included.
