Der Datenverkehr in lokalen und globalen Datennetzwerken nimmt ständig zu. Quality of Service zu bieten, ist deshalb eine der vordringlichsten Aufgaben der Kommunikationsindustrie. Eine praxisnahe Einführung in die QoS-Implementierung bietet diese topaktuelle Buch, das auch neue Steuerungstechniken für die nächste Generation der Multimedia-Netze erläutert. Theoretische Forschungsergebnisse und Beispiele aus der ingenieurtechnischen Praxis werden gleichermaßen berücksichtigt.
