Network Algorithmics,: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Designing Fast Networked Devices (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking)

In designing a network device you make dozens of decisions that affect the speed with which it will performsometimes for better but sometimes for worse Network Algorithmics provides a complete coherent methodology for maximizing speed while meeting your other design goalsAuthor George Varghese begins by laying out the implementation bottlenecks that are most often encountered at four disparate levels of implementation protocol OS hardware and architecture He then derives 15 solid principlesranging from the commonly recognized to the groundbreakingthat are key to breaking these bottlenecksThe rest of the book is devoted to a systematic application of these principles to bottlenecks found specifically in endnodes interconnect devices and specialty functions such as security and measurement that can be located anywhere along the network This immensely practical clearly presented information will benefit anyone involved with network implementation as well as students who have made this work their goalFOR INSTRUCTORS To obtain access to the solutions manual for this title simply register on our textbook website textbookselseviercomand request access to the Computer Science subject area Once approved usually within one business day you will be able to access all of the instructoronly materials through the Instructor Manual link on this books academic web page at textbookselseviercom Addresses the bottlenecks found in all kinds of network devices data copying control transfer demultiplexing timers and more and offers ways to break them Presents techniques suitable specifically for endnodes including Web servers Presents techniques suitable specifically for interconnect devices including routers bridges and gateways Written as a practical guide for implementers but full of valuable insights for students teachers and researchers Includes endofchapter summaries and exercises
