Quality of Service in Multiservice IP Networks Third International Workshop, QoS-IP 2005, Catania, Italy, February 2-4, 2005

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Quality of Service in Multiservice IP Networks, QoS-IP 2005, held in Catania, Italy in February 2005.

The 50 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from around 100 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on analytical models, traffic characterization, MPLS failure and restoration, network planning and dimensioning, DiffServ and InfServ, routing, software routers, network architectures for QoS provisioning, multiservice in wireless networks, TCP in special environments, and scheduling.
