In its infancy the Internet was primarily dependent on where to send packets of information, but with the advent of many new technological demands on the Internet, particularly audio/visual demands, it is increasingly becoming important to control the timing of sending information. This is what Quality of Service (QoS) systems are designed to do. Because of the heterogeneous nature of Internet technologies it is important that these systems be able to interwork with many other information systems. Schmitt (U. of Technology Darmstadt, Germany) provides an overview of existing QoS technologies and works up a model for developing network QoS systems. He examines the way that existing technologies can be combined and evaluates strategies for future development. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
