5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource !, April 29 2007
This review is from: Cisco QOS Exam Certification Guide (IP Telephony Self-Study) (Hardcover)
I found this book very helpful in passing the QoS exam. Lots of information (even too much at times) and well explained. I didn't even bother using routers as the book explained everything quite well. Get the

Cisco IP Telephony Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack book as well if you are going after your CCVP. It has helped me with the QoS and CVOICE exams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best-of-class book at implementing QoS, Feb 4 2006
By Sean E. Connelly "Just a bithead - CCIE#17085" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cisco QOS Exam Certification Guide (IP Telephony Self-Study) (Hardcover)
CiscoPress's "Cisco QoS - Exam Certification Guide" 2nd Edition by Odom and Cavanaugh is marketed for the QoS 642-642 exam. In reality, this book is an excellent resource for both real-world implementations and for the CCIE R&S exam. Typically, QoS is not a subject that would keep me engaged, but this book does just that. The writing style is crisp, clean and succinct.

The book jumps right out of the gate at explaining, in very easy to understand terms, the underpinnings of QoS and also the enemies of QoS (Bandwidth, Delay, Jitter and Loss). The book next discusses the different tools for QoS (classifying and marking, queuing, shaping, congestion avoidance and link efficiency). This is the bulk of the book and where the book most shines. The diagrams and configs greatly enhance the discussions of the various QoS techniques. The book finishes up by discussing the nuances of LAN QoS (particularly CoS and DSCP) and best practices.

Items I find of particular use:
* Chapter 3 discusses MQC (Modular QoS CLI) - this is an area where Cisco has, lately, really focused their energies at developing. It seems each new Cisco IOS has new commands to further enhance the MQC capabilities. This chapter does a great job at discussing the syntax of these commands (for instance - checkout the different `match' commands on page 148).
* Chapter 6 discusses traffic policing and shaping - I have an admitted difficult time knowing when to implement shape average vs shape peak. This chapter documents the use of each command as well as the difference in policy-based police commands (see page 385).

Overall, I consider this book an essential tool in my preparation for the CCIE R&S lab. Weighing in at over 700 pages, this is a tome that I reference often (and keep handy on my bookshelf).

I give this book 5 pings out of 5:

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with 1st 100 pages, April 6 2005
By mark hurley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cisco QOS Exam Certification Guide (IP Telephony Self-Study) (Hardcover)
OK, so I'm impatient to mouth-off. I've only read the 1st 100 pages but I'm so impressed, I want to tell you.

I just want to know about QoS. Exam is much lower priority.

I really like the language used in this book ... it resonates with me. I also like the fact that several different ways are sometimes used to describe something. This confirms my understanding & if I don't understand the 1st way of explaining it, it gives me another chance. When different terms mean the same thing, this is explained. This is great since this is a major source of confusion in IT.

The plentitude of diagrams helps clarity.

This book is very considerate of the user ... not just dumping immature thoughts on a page like so many comms. books.

I generally have developed a negative impression of CiscoPress books (eg. the MPLS 'bible') but this helps recover this.

One little bit of feedback is that I find packet flows from right a left a bit counter intuitive. Compare figures on P.90 - 101.

Regards, MH

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the benchmark of excellence, Aug 1 2005
By Jeff W - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cisco QOS Exam Certification Guide (IP Telephony Self-Study) (Hardcover)
The authors absolutely produced a gem in this Cisco QoS Exam Certification Guide. Whilst I used the book primarily to pass the 642-642 QoS exam, this book can definitely serve as a reference to anyone remotely doing anything with QoS.

The authors explain the concepts in a easy-to-follow manner, and follow each concept up with at least 1 or more examples that complement the concept and re-inforce learning.

Compared to other Cisco Press books, this book is engaging, covers the concept in depth, has good examples, and has relatively fewer errors. Therefore I give it 5-years, which it richly deserves.

After reading the book once I sat and passed the 642-642 with flying colors. This is how good the book is. I now also feel confident about the QoS section on the CCIE written exam.
