This textbook presents the mathematical theory and techniques necessary for analyzing and modeling high-performance global networks, such as the Internet. The three main building blocks of high-performance networks are links, switching equipment connecting the links together and software employed at the end nodes and intermediate switches. This book provides the basic techniques for modeling and analyzing these last two components. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: Markov chains and queuing analysis, traffic modeling, interconnection networks and switch architectures and buffering strategies.

-- Not just a guide to the technology and standards: a real implementer's guide! -- Extensive real-world examples and details: interworking with LANs, IP, xDSL, multimedia, wireless, and much more. -- Advanced ATM applications: wireless ATM, CDMA integration, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), and more. Finally, there's an ATM guide that doesn't just catalog the technology and standards, but also demonstrates exactly how to design today's most important real-world ATM applications. Start with an expert introduction to ATM technology: protocols, call control procedures, switching, traffic management, and network management. Next, and most importantly, review the key design challenges, tradeoffs, and best solutions associated with each of today's most important ATM applications. Master LAN emulation over ATM, classical IP over ATM, and multi-protocol over ATM; and delivering multimedia services over ATM. Finally, discover the state of the art in emerging ATM technologies and standards, including multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) and other approaches to wireless ATM. The book is replete with detailed design examples focused on helping engineers create high-performance, cost-effective ATM systems and services that succeed in the marketplace. For any engineer involved with delivering ATM products and services, including hardware manufacturers, designers of network management systems, customer network engineers and architects.

The increasing complexity of telecommunication networks requires us to develop adequate mathematical models. We must find their characteristics, optimize them subject to chosen criteria, and develop the corresponding control algorithms. Multidimensional queueing models are used to design and optimize modern and next-generation networks (NGN). The central problem of the related mathematical theory is to apply multidimensional and large-size queueing models to improve efficiency. In this book new methods are successively developed and applied to solve related problems. The book is recommended for researchers engaged with the mathematical theory of telecommunications traffic.
