Design, Measurement and Management of Large-Scale IP Networks: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice

摘要

What makes the information in this book unique is that it is based on actual measurements collected from the Sprint IP backbone. Operational measurements when used as a basis for the design of networks has two important benefits, first one can ensure that a network design can scale and second, one can predict and quantify a performance gain of tradeoffs that could be observed under realistic conditions.
