Description
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. Network Algorithmics provides a complete, coherent methodology for maximizing speed while meeting your other design
goals.
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.
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.

Audience
Network protocol implementers, from server vendors (i.e., Sun, IBM, Microsoft) to router vendors (i.e., Cisco, Juniper, PMC Sierra, Redback,
Alcatel, Intel Networks). Also appeals to designers of efficient Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and firewalls which includes implementers
at companies such as Cisco, ISS, Raptor, Symantec, Checkpoint, Network Associates, as well as companies and startups in security, storage
and networking.
