About this title

Review:

"This book presents a complete, insightful view of QoS in the Internet.... The book is logically structured and designed to be read from cover to cover. It contains summaries after each chapter and even wholes sections that summarize previous parts. Xipeng Xiao’s language is easily understandable, and his argumentation lines are logical and coherent. All this makes it a good book for academic researchers and industrial parties wanting to develop QoS architecture or effectively sell it, respectively. Therefore, I am glad to join the already impressive list of endorsements and recommend Technical, Commercial and Regulatory Challenges of QoS: An Internet Service Model Perspective as a unique position among the existing QoS literature."--IEEE Magazine
