MPLS QoS: Implementing the best model for guaranteed service

My MPLS QoS: Implementing the best model for guaranteed service article published by SearchTelecom gives you a high-level overview of the pipe and hose QoS models in the MPLS VPN environment. I’m also describing basic DiffServ QoS mechanisms available in an MPLS backbone.

If you’re new to IP QoS, you should start with the IP QoS: Two generations of class-of-service tools article.
