Well, it seems like the 2nd Ed. focuses on mostly MQC based QoS technology,
rather than ol' legacy PQ, CQ, FRTS etc.
However, the 2nd Ed. still provides you with the old ones in the CD as pdf files.
I printed it out and read it.
Agreeing with Tim, the 2nd should have fewer typos, I would recommend the 2nd one.
(I found some though.. not the critical ones)
For Cat3550 QoS, Wandall's book explains only 2950-EMI QoS, though,
you could get general idea from that.
As Tim pointed out, the book would be the best "STARTING POINT" for the CCIE exam.
You maybe have to read almost all the Univercd QoS docs.
The reason I recommend this book first is without knowing basic bout important rules, principles
you might find it would be very difficult to understand the univercd.
Hope you conquer the QoS!!
Regards,
Nick
