<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In designing a network device, you make dozens of decisions that affect the speed with which it will perform--sometimes for better, but sometimes for worse. <i>Network Algorithmics </i>provides a complete, coherent methodology for maximizing speed while meeting your other design goals.</p> <p>Author 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 principles--ranging from the commonly recognized to the groundbreaking--that are key to breaking these bottlenecks.</p> <p>The 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 goal.</p> <p>FOR INSTRUCTORS: To obtain access to the solutions manual for this title simply register on our textbook website (textbooks.elsevier.com)and request access to the Computer Science subject area.

The networking research and development community is fortunate that he has now distilled his knowledge in this very readable, insightful, and much-needed book. --<b>Bruce Davie, Cisco Fellow, Cisco Systems</b></p> <p>This book nicely describes implementation tricks for building fast networking stacks, particularly in routers. This is a much needed book, I don't know of any other that covers this sort of implementation advice. George Varghese has invented several techniques to help speed up the Internet and in his book he provides interesting insight into this, and much more. --<b>Radia Perlman, Distinguished Engineer, Sun Microsystems</b></p><br>
