+Quality of Service in IP Networks
+
+IP networks were designed some 25 years ago.  Networks based on TCP/IP are
+widely deployed, as organization-local Intranets as well as in the Internet
+itself.  The usage patterns of those networks change.  Especially new 
+technologies like voice-over-IP as well as streaming multimedia applications
+have different requirements on the underlying network infrastructure than 
+bulk data transfers like ftp/www or interactive traffic like telnet/ssh.
+
+Organizations usually run a mixture of different services on their Internet
+uplinks or on their organization-internal wide area networks.  Bandwidth is 
+usually a limited ressource, so everybody wants to divide bandwidth between
+different services according to his specific needs. 
+
+Linux always had a very strong focus on network functionality and has
+sophisticated means for bandwidth control / QoS since Kernel 2.2.
+
+The presentation is organized in the following parts:
+	Basics of QoS in IP networks
+	How can Linux help with QoS
+	Sample scenarios of Linux-based QoS solutions
+	Overview about advanced conecpts (DiffServ, IntServ, RSVP, ...)
