Another crucial task for building an Internet is the selection of a QoS-capable link layer. Asynchronous Transfer Mode could be the right support for the future Internet as it can deliver QoS to IP layer and has very high throughput. This book addresses some approaches to facilitate QoS guarantees in the Internet and to provide a flexible and scaleable environment for IP packets with differentiated QoS requirements over an ATM-based MPLS environment. %K computer, system, ip management %G English
