Advanced Traffic Classification (15) 8. Buffer Management (35) 9. Hardware Queue Enabling Options (25) 10. Scheduling (25) 11. Hierarchical Scheduling (15) 12 Rate Limiting (10) 13. Miscellaneous Topics Part 3. QoS Design 14 QoS Design Approach (35) This manuscript will provide the reader with both a theoretical and practical overview of how QoS can be implemented to reach the business objectives defined for an IP/MPLS network. To reinforce the QoS concepts, models, policies and features, the manuscript will from chapter to chapter include side-bar dialogues between students and teacher in a typical Question and answer format. 

The Alcatel-Lucent IP Router product portfolio will be referenced throughout the book to demonstrate how QoS features and policies are implemented. In addition to the Q/A, quizzes with answers and explanations will also be incorporated into the manuscript. To further round-out the knowledge development objectives of this book, actual case studies from various market segments will be included.
