i have been trying to get some of the smart people in next generation
traffic management (intserv/ion/qosr etc etC) to write down what could
be done in signaling, QoS routing, CAC, shaping, policing, 
service classes....admission tests for each, utilisation for cell and
packet based approximations to GPS, etc etc etc.....

several publishers would give a nice advance for such a book.....
but it'd have to be out fairly soon......and be written by someone
with good style (rich stevens  is an examplar, imho)
