Publisher's Synopsis
Network performance evaluation can be approached in two different ways: queuing theory covered first, with applications to traffic control, or visa–versa. This hands–on resource takes the first approach in order to teach management of network traffic. The book establishes queueing theories and follows each with a practical application toward traffic control. Practical problems are covered with deliberate attempt to show their relevance. The result is a balanced book that provides inspiration to graduate students while still being accessible to working professionals.
