Requests for Comments (RFCs) are written definitions of protocol standards and proposed standards used for the Internet. The following RFCs might be helpful for understanding QoS and its related functions:
This RFC discusses the new definition of the type of service octet field in an IP packet header.
This RFC explains the definition of ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP).
This RFC explains the use of RSVP with Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) integrated services.
This RFC explains the definition of the Differentiated Services Field.
This RFC explains the architecture of differentiated services.

IBM eServer™ iSeries™ IP Networks: Dynamic! (about 16 589 KB). This is the most recent IP networking redbook. It shows you how to design an IP network that is self-configuring, fault tolerant, and efficient in its operation. In addition to many other functions, it explains both the theory behind QoS and its implementation on the system. You can also find more scenarios with step-by-step instruction.
V4 TCP/IP for AS/400®: More Cool Things Than Ever (about 10 035 KB). This manual provides sample scenarios that demonstrate common solutions with example configurations. The information in this manual helps you plan, install, tailor, configure, and troubleshoot TCP/IP on your system. It does not specifically include QoS yet, but it does go through LDAP directory server information.
TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview (about 7885 KB). This manual provides an introduction as well as a reference to the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite of protocols and applications. You can find QoS within Part 3. Advanced concepts and new technologies under Chapter 22.
IBM Directory Server for iSeries (LDAP). This topic covers directory server basics, configuration, administration, and troubleshooting. The directory services topic also provides additional resources for configuring your directory server.
Intrusion detection. This topic discusses gathering information about unauthorized access attempts and attacks coming in over the TCP/IP network. Security administrators can analyze the auditing records that intrusion detection provides to secure the i5/OS® network from these types of attacks.
