Technical, Commercial and Regulatory Challenges of QoS: An Internet Service Model Perspective (Hardcover)

This book provides a comprehensive examination of Internet QoS theory, standards, vendor implementation and network deployment from the practitioner's point of view, including extensive discussion of related economic and regulatory issues. Written in a technology-light way so that a variety of professionals and researchers in the information and networking industries can easily grasp the material. Includes case studies based on real-world experiences from industry.

The author starts by discussing the economic, regulatory and technical challenges of the existing QoS model. Key coverage includes defining a clear business model for selling and buying QoS in relation to current and future direction of government regulation and QoS interoperability (or lack thereof) between carriers and networking devices. The author then demonstrates how to improve the current QoS model to create a clear selling point, less regulation uncertainty, and higher chance of deployment success. This includes discussion of QoS re-packaging to end-users; economic and regulatory benefits of the re-packaging; and the overall benefits of an improved technical approach. Finally, the author discusses the future evolution of QoS from an Internet philosophy perspective and lets the reader draw the conclusions.

This book is the first QoS book to provide in depth coverage on the commercial and regulatory aspects of QoS, in addition to the technical aspect. From that, readers can grasp the commercial and regulatory issues of QoS and their implications on the overall QoS business model. This book is also the first QoS book to provide case studies of real world QoS deployments, contributed by the people who did the actual deployments. From that, readers can grasp the practical issues of QoS in real world. This book is also the first QoS book to cover both wireline QoS and wireless QoS. Readers can grasp the QoS issues in the wireless world. The book was reviewed and endorsed by a long list of prominent industrial and academic figures.

* The only book to discuss QoS technology in relation to economic and regulatory issues
* Includes case studies based on real-world examples from industry practitioners.
* Provides unique insight into how to improve the current QoS model to create a clear selling point, less regulatory uncertainty, and higher chance of deployment success.

本書從實務者的角度，全面探討了網際網路服務品質（QoS）的理論、標準、供應商實施和網路部署，包括廣泛討論相關的經濟和監管問題。以技術輕鬆的方式撰寫，讓各種資訊和網路行業的專業人士和研究人員都能輕鬆理解內容。書中還包括基於實際行業經驗的案例研究。

作者首先討論了現有QoS模型的經濟、監管和技術挑戰。重點內容包括在當前和未來政府監管和QoS互通性（或缺乏互通性）的背景下，為QoS的銷售和購買定義明確的商業模型。作者隨後演示了如何改進現有的QoS模型，以創造明確的銷售重點、減少監管不確定性和提高部署成功的機會。這包括討論對最終用戶進行QoS重新打包的方法，重新打包的經濟和監管效益，以及改進技術方法的整體效益。最後，作者從網際網路哲學的角度討論了QoS的未來演變，並讓讀者得出結論。

本書是第一本深入探討QoS商業和監管方面的書籍，除了技術方面。從中，讀者可以了解QoS的商業和監管問題以及對整體QoS商業模型的影響。本書還是第一本提供實際QoS部署案例研究的書籍，這些案例由實際參與部署的人員貢獻。從中，讀者可以了解實際世界中QoS的實際問題。本書還是第一本涵蓋有線和無線QoS的書籍。讀者可以了解無線世界中的QoS問題。本書經過了許多知名工業和學術界人士的審查和認可。

* 本書是唯一一本討論QoS技術與經濟和監管問題相關性的書籍
* 包括基於行業實踐的實際案例研究
* 提供了改進現有QoS模型的獨特見解，以創造明確的銷售重點、減少監管不確定性和提高部署成功的機會。
