[c-nsp] basic QOS pointers?

[Scott Granados]

I'm starting to experiment with implimenting QOS on a network.  I'm mainly 
experimenting in my home lab which consists of 2 7206's (400's) with a few 
35xx's and a 2610.  Can anyone suggest good starting pointers and possibly 
configuration examples.  I've been googling and searching the cisco site but 
the thing I'm missing is the background information and things like best 
practices or design considerations.  I see the configuration examples but 
they don't make a lot of sense.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thank you
Scott
