The importance of quality of service (QoS) has risen with the
recent evolution of telecommunication networks, which are
characterised by a great heterogeneity. While many applications
require a specific level of assurance from the network;
communication networks are characterized by different service
providers, transmission means and implementer solutions such as
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Internet protocol version 4
(IPv4), IPv6 and MPLS.

Providing comprehensive coverage of QoS issues within
heterogeneous network environments, "QoS Over Heterogeneous
Networks" looks to find solutions to questions such as does
QoS fit within heterogeneous networks and what is the impact on
performance if information traverses different network portions
that implement specific QoS schemes.

Includes:

* A series of algorithms and protocols to help solve potential
QoS problems.

* State of the art case studies and operative examples to
illustrate points made.

* Information on QoS mapping in terms of service-level
specification (SLS) and an in-depth discussion of related
issues

* Chapters end-to-end (E2E) QoS, QoS architecture, QoS over
heterogeneous networks and QoS internetworking and mapping.

An ideal book for graduate students, researchers and lecturers.
System designers, developers and engineers will also find
"QoS Over Heterogeneous Networks" a valuable
reference.
