Windows Operating Systems and Quality of Service Networking provides an overview of Quality of Service technologies, and how they can be implemented in a Windows based system. Author Yoram Bernet is a leading authority on Quality of Service, having been one of the main architects of many QoS technologies in the IETF and a Program Manager for QoS at Microsoft. With the rapid increase in network traffic, network professionals have been scrambling to add capacity to their networks. But new applications, such as multimedia, keep driving up the demand for network services, and network traffic continues to increase. Quality of service technologies improve this situation by making efficient use of network capacity and giving you, the network professional control over how network capacity is allocated to various applications and users. This book explains the myriad QoS technologies that play a role in a QoS enabled network, with a focus on how to implement these technologies within Windows.

Das Quality-of-Service-Konzept (QoS) soll die schnelle, fehlerarme Übertragung von Daten in Netzwerken sichern.

Today, multimedia applications on the Internet are still in their infancy. They include personalized communications, such as Internet telephone and videophone, and interactive applications, such as video-on-demand, videoconferencing, distance learning, collaborative work, digital libraries, radio and television broadcasting, and others. Handbook of Internet and Multimedia Systems and Applications, a companion to the author's Handbook of Multimedia Computing probes the development of systems supporting Internet and multimedia applications. Part one introduces basic multimedia and Internet concepts, user interfaces, standards, authoring techniques and tools, and video browsing and retrieval techniques. Part two covers multimedia and communications systems, including distributed multimedia systems, visual information systems, multimedia messaging and news systems, conference systems, and many others. Part three presents contemporary Internet and multimedia applications including multimedia education, interactive movies, multimedia document systems, multimedia broadcasting over the Internet, and mobile multimedia.

Here is all the practical, hands-on information you need to build, manage and maintain a heterogeneous computing environment with hardware, software, and network equipment from a number of different vendors. Packed with real-world case studies and proven techniques for integrating disparate platforms, operating systems and servers, Multi-Operating

This Synthesis Lecture presents a discussion of Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless networks over unlicensed spectrum. The topic is presented from the point of view of protocols for wireless networks (e.g., 802.11) rather than the physical layer point of view usually discussed for cellular networks in the licensed wireless spectrum. A large number of mobile multimedia wireless applications are being deployed over WiFi (IEEE 802.11) and Bluetooth wireless networks and the number will increase in the future as more phones, tablets, and laptops are equipped with these unlicensed spectrum wireless interfaces. Achieving QoS objectives in wireless networks is challenging due to limited wireless resources, wireless nodes interference, wireless shared media, node mobility, and diverse topologies. The author presents the QoS problem as (1) an optimization problem with different constraints coming from the interference, mobility, and wireless resource constraints and (2) an algorithmic problem with fundamental algorithmic functions within wireless resource management and protocols.
