I've found there's no shortage of advice and theory about the viability of IP QoS (DiffServ) in a large wide-area (converged) network. I have not had much luck with finding documentation about experiences implementing and operating such a beast. Presumably that's yet another (silent) confirmation that It Doesn't Work or There's a Better/Easier Way. Nevertheless, I'd still like to find anyone who has tried (successfully or not) to converge (ie VoIP/H.323/data) a high-speed (~ 1Gb/s) IP network and use IP QoS for what it is sold to do. White paper/presentation references or off-line conversation would be appreciated. Pete.
Pete, There was an article in the last network world about Worldcom using DiffServ in its VPN offering, and I found this article as well: http://www.netcentrex.net/news_and_events/2002_3_22_CommNews_VPN-Outsourcing Options.shtml -Scotty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Kruckenberg" <pete@kruckenberg.com> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 4:04 PM Subject: IP QoS case-studies
