Description: Wiley Networking Council Books put technology into perspective for decision-makers who need an implementation strategy, a vendor and outsourcing strategy, and a product and design strategy. The Council of series advisors is comprised of four of the most influential leaders of the networking community:

Lyman Chapin -- Chief Scientist at BBN Technologies, CTO for GTE Technology Organization, and founding trustee of the Internet Society

Scott Bradner -- Senior Consultant for Harvard University, Transport Area Director of IETF, trustee of the Internet Society, and ISOC VP of Standards

Vinton Cerf -- Senior Vice President for Internet Architecture and Technology at MCI Worldcom, founding President of the Internet Society, and co-inventor of TCP/IP

With the advent of policy servers, network administrators no longer have to create data traffic rules (policy) by hand. This book will sort out the hype from the reality for this important advance in networking. The authors provide examples and case studies as well as product roadmaps and suggestions for possible migration paths from the old labor-intensive management to next-generation PBNs (policy-based networks). Readers will learn more about the first network services set up for policy-based management including Quality of Service (QoS), the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) in Win2000, the LDAP directory technology, and other services nearing standards completion.
