However, it's important to remember where Windows hardware inventory came from. AutoQoS tools are the result of QoS design guides that Cisco Technical Marketing Engineers (including myself) put together based on large-scale lab testing. AutoQoS-VoIP is the product of our first "AVVID QoS Design Guide," one of the most popular and most downloaded technical whitepapers ever produced within Cisco. AutoQoS-Enterprise is the result of the QoS Baseline coupled with our second-generation QoS Design Guide. This book represents our third-generation QoS Design Guide. And it is the goal of the authors to drive these designs (including DoS/worm-mitigation strategies) into future releases of AutoQoS. So, basically, what you are reading is the proposed blueprint for the next version of AutoQoS.
When it comes to any given technology, there are really only two types of people: those who are interested in windows hardware inventory and seek a thorough understanding of the relation of the parts to the whole, and those who just want to "turn it on" and walk away. The former are the ones who will confidently unleash the true power of the technology and push it to its limits; the latter are the ones who are usually hesitant, timid, and conservative in their use of the technology, typically accompanied with mediocre results.
