Network Routing

Zusammenfassung Network routing can be categorized into Internet routing, PSTN routing, and telecommunication transport network routing. This book considers these routing paradigms, as well as their interoperability. It discusses how algorithms, protocols, analysis, and operational deployment impact these approaches....

Deepankar Medhi is Professor of Computer Networking in the Computer Science & Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, USA. Prior to joining UMKC in 1989, he was a member of the technical staff in the traffic network routing and design department at the AT&T Bell Laboratories. He was an invited visiting professor at Technical University of Denmark and a visiting research fellow at the Lund University, Sweden. He is currently a Fulbright Senior Specialist. He serves as a senior technical editor of the Journal of Network & Systems Management, and is on the editorial board of Computer Networks, Telecommunication Systems, and IEEE Communications Magazine. He has served on the technical program committees of numerous conferences including IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE NOMS, IEEE IM, ITC, and DRCN. He received B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics from Cotton College, Gauhati University, India, an M.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Delhi, India, and an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. He has published more than 70 papers, and is co-author of the book Routing, Flow, and Capacity Design in Communication and Computer Networks, also published by Morgan Kaufmann (July 2004). Karthikeyan Ramasamy has 15 years of software development experience, including working with companies such as Juniper Networks, Desana Systems, and NCR. His primary areas of technical expertise are networking and database management. As a member of the technical staff at Juniper, he developed and delivered a multitude of features spanning a diverse set of technologies including protocols, platforms, databases, and high availability solutions for the JUNOS routing operating system. As a principal engineer at Desana Systems, he was instrumental in developing and delivering many fundamental components of an L7 switch for managing data centers. While pursuing his doctorate, he worked on a parallel object relational database system, which was spun off as a company and later acquired by NCR. Subsequently, he initiated a project in data warehousing which was adapted by NCR. As a consulting software engineer at NCR, he assisted in the commercialization of these technologies. Currently, he serves as an independent consultant. He received a B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering with distinction from Anna University, India, an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, USA, and a Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. He has published papers in premier conferences and holds 7 patents.

Klappentext

Network routing is the development and maintenance of information delivery via the Internet or telephone. This technology can be broken down into three basic categories: packet routing (Internet), circuit-switching routing(public-switched telephone networks), and transport routing (telecom networks). The authors discuss these different types of routing and how algorithms, protocols, analysis, and implementation impact this technology.
Before "Network Routing: Algorithms, Protocols and Architectures," there was no systematic book that encompassed all the various routing paradigms. This book has filled that void. Different routing and networking schemes are compared. Medhi and Ramasamy examine the strengths and weaknesses of these divergent schemes during deployment and implementation. Other topics include the evolution of network routing, the role of IP addressing, and the impact of router and switching architecture. This book contains all the practical information that a professional needs in the field of network routing.
A multitude of technologies discussed in practical detail, including IP, MPLS, and Optical Networking
Unique to this book is the inclusion of routing schemes over "different" networks
*Accessible to a wide audience with its vendor-neutral approach
