    Mainly QOS but you'll also find a lot of info in the IOS zone based firewall guides.
    CCNP:Collaboration, CCNP:R&S, CCNA:S, CCNA:V, CCNA, CCENT

    None the less as a CCNP you should be somewhat familiar with QoS. Sadly I think the CCNP should touch more on QoS then it already does. It amazes me how many CCNP engineers cannot tell me how to configure FRTS or traffic policing.
    There is no place like 127.0.0.1

    FRTS, I'm not surprised at. I'll be honest, I couldn't do it without a reference anymore. I just don't have occasion to run across many frame relay circuits.

    Policing, otoh, right there with you.

    I just took the dang exam and I don't recall much pertaining to FRTS. I hate configuring frame relay, TBH. With other modern solutions available, I wouldn't pick frame relay unless I had no other choice.

    And yeah, an NP should at least have the basic of policing down. But that is more into CCIP territory.

    CCIE R&S v4 covers a decent amount of QOS configuration. Congestion Management, shaping, policing and the like. The official exam cert guide has about 100 pages on it.

    If you want a really good book on the subject. I suggest getting:

    Cisco DQOS Exam Certification Guide by Wendell Odom, and Michael Cavanaugh, ISBN: 1-58720-058-9

    CCNP:SP Track covers QoS as well under exam 642-785 MPQS
    CCNP:Voice Covers it under exam 642-642 QoS
    ^^^^ This exam is also required for several of the specialist level exams like IP Telephony Design Specialist.

    The DQOS exam guide is for the previous version of the current QoS exam. There's an updated version:

    Amazon.com: Cisco QOS Exam Certification Guide (IP Telephony Self-Study) (2nd Edition) (0619472201244): Wendell Odom, Michael J. Cavanaugh: Books

    That's the one you want if you're going to study what Cisco currently cares about for QoS
