Written by two experts in the field who deal with QOS predicaments every day and now in this 2nd edition give special attention to the realm of Data Centers, QoS Enabled Networks: Tools and Foundations, 2nd Edition provides a lucid understanding of modern QOS theory mechanisms in packet networks and how to apply them in practice. This book is focuses on the tools and foundations of QoS providing the knowledge to understand what benefits QOS offers and what can be built on top of it.
--Jeff Doyle
"An excellent overview of the fundamentals of QoS tools and their application, "QoS-enabled Networks" can serve both as an introduction and as a reference. Free from vendor-specific implementation details and configuration knobs, the book focuses on core concepts and on how to apply them to real-world scenarios, making this complex topic come into sharp focus"
--Ina Minei, Network Architect, Google
"This book addresses the real world scenarios faced by many telcos across the globe. Prioritisation and scheduling at the forefront of network design is key to every telco's utopia of a fully converged, multiservice network. A great resource in the designers tool kit"
--Phill Magill, Head of Network Innovation at Talk Talk Group
"This is the first book about QOS that I actually enjoyed reading precisely because the authors focused on real-life QoS and not in academic discussions about it."
--Per Nihlen, IP Network Manager, NORDUnet
"This book provides a new approach of the complex realm which is the QoS . It offers a detailed theoretical explanation of QoS mechanisms but also great case studies of concrete QoS applications. This book allowed me to better grasp complex QoS configurations such as the hierarchical CoS in BNG environment."
--David Roy, IP/MPLS NOC engineer - Orange France
"This book contains useful scenarios and real world case studies which expertly convert theoretical knowledge in practical application"
--Matheu Leonards, Head of Architecture, Finance and Risk, Thomson Reuters
"Mercifully, this book is not a dry academic dissertation on QoS. Rather, it offers an accessibly written and useful insight into the concepts and mechanisms of QoS that augment the tool kit of today's Network Engineer"
--Russell Thompson, Network Engineer, Telstra

Peter Lundqvist works in system engineering at Arista Networks since May 2014. Prior to this, he was a senior Beta Engineer at Juniper Networks, supporting the field test and rollout of new features and solutions before they are public available. He has been responsible for the testing of several of the newly deployed QOS features. Before working in the Engineering department, Peter worked as professional services engineer, in network design and implementation of large-scale networks, several of them including QOS features. Peter worked for more than 13 years at Juniper Networks, prior to which he worked in Cisco Systems as Consulting Engineer.
