Performance Analysis of Communications Networks and Systems

摘要: This rigorous and self-contained book describes mathematical and, in particular, stochastic methods to assess the performance of networked systems. It consists three parts. Part one is a review probability theory. two covers classical theory processes (Poisson, renewal, Markov, queuing theory), which are considered be basic building blocks for evaluation studies. focuses on relatively new field physics networks. part deals with recently obtained insights that many very different large complex networks - such as Internet, World Wide Web, proteins, utility infrastructures, social evolve behave according more general common scaling laws. understanding useful when assessing end-to-end quality communications services, example, Internet telephony, real-time video, interacting games. Containing problems solutions, this ideal graduate students taking courses analysis.
