OT - End-to-End QoS Network Design - Second Eddiont RANT

B
I just cracked open the bEnd-to-End QoS Network Designb
Second Edition
book expecting to really hone in my understanding of QoS and
right on the
first page the author makes the following statement bstreaming
video
(unbidirectional flows that benefited from both network and application
level
buffering to offset variations in transmission delays)bB We know
bvariations in transmission delaysb
to be jitter.B Why is this CCIE
telling
me that network buffering reduces jitter when we know it is going to
INCREASE
jitter.B Ibm sure some willB rationalize
corner cases where jitter
can be improved by network buffering but in the
statistical random switching
world where flows come into and out of existence
the variance will
certainlyB be high.
So now Ibm left wondering if I should just put this book
down and consider its cost a donation to ciscopress?B Its only the first page
and I am very
unimpressed.B
