Product Description
This book describes, analyzes, and recommends traffic engineering (TE) and quality of service (QoS) optimization methods for integrated voice/data dynamic routing networks. These functions control a network's response to traffic demands and other stimuli, such as link failures or node failures. TE and QoS optimization is concerned with measurement, modeling, characterization, and control of network traffic, and the application of techniques to achieve specific performance objectives. The scope of the analysis and recommendations include dimensioning, call/flow and connection routing, QoS resource management, routing table management, dynamic transport routing, and operational requirements. Case studies are included which provide the reader with a concrete way into the technical details and highlight why and how to use the techniques described in the book.
* Includes Case Studies of MPLS & GMPLS Network Optimization
* Presents state-of-the-art traffic engineering and quality of service optimization methods and illustrates the tradeoffs between the various methods discussed
* Contains practical Case Studies based on large-scale service provider implementations and architecture plans
* Written by a highly respected and well known active expert in traffic engineering and quality of service

Traffic Engineering and QoS Optimization of Integrated Voice & Data Networks (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking)
A comprehensive vision of a converged infrastructure for the next generation network February 10, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an very important book describing a comprehensive coherent vision of a converged network infrastructure (architecture and protocols) for the Next Generation Network (NGN) along with large scale case studies for the AT&T converged network using discrete event simulation, and other dimensioning tools developed by the author and his colleagues over the past two decades at AT&T. The author Dr Gerald Ash has pioneered the implementation of dynamic routing methods within AT&T and WIN over the past two decades and is a leading authority in this area. He has now turned his attention to extending these highly successful techniques to the Next Generation Network (NGN) where all communication and communication services are supported on a converged infrastructure. Dr Ash has been a tireless contributor to a number of standards bodies (ITU-T, ATM Forum and IETF). This direct experience places him in a unique position to assess the challenges of network convergence and indeed he has already removed potential obstacles to his vision of the NGN by participating in the necessary Traffic Engineering extensions to RSVP, LDP etc. This document advances an important class of evolution possibilities, namely for an IP/(G)MPLS/DWDM protocol stack in greater depth and scope than other proposals made to date. It is very timely in that we are now at a crossroads where there are various alternative visions extant indicating how the Internet could or should evolve. The articulation of a comprehensive coherent vision of the NGN and its evaluation is a monumental task and for this Dr Ash deserves commendation. It is made difficult not only because of technical challenges but also because of the divergent cultures humorously represented by the Bellhead/Nethead caricatures.
