Appendix B. MPLS QoS, Traffic Engineering, and Guaranteed Bandwidth

This appendix covers topics related to quality of service (QoS) on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks in more detail than Chapter 10, "Quality of Service in a Virtualized Environment" (where they were originally presented). This appendix discusses the following:

• Uniform tunnel and pipe mode

• MPLS traffic engineering

• Guaranteed bandwidth
