Network Quality of Service and Windows Operating Systems

Windows Operating Systems and Quality of Service Networking provides an overview of Quality of Service technologies, and how they can be implemented in a Windows based system. Author Yoram Bernet is a leading authority on Quality of Service, having been one of the main architects of many QoS technologies in the IETF and a Program Manager for QoS at Microsoft. With the rapid increase in network traffic, network professionals have been scrambling to add capacity to their networks. But new applications, such as multimedia, keep driving up the demand for network services, and network traffic continues to increase. Quality of service technologies improve this situation by making efficient use of network capacity and giving you, the network professional control over how network capacity is allocated to various applications and users.This book explains the myriad QoS technologies that play a role in a QoS enabled network, with a focus on how to implement these technologies within Windows.
