High-performance Packet Switching Architectures

Internet traffic is increasing by at least 200% per year and this is the first book to report on the current state-of-the-art of packet-switching architectures. The book to covers the subject in a comprehensive survey and presents contributions from the leading researchers in industry and universities. A mix of theoretical and practical material makes this book an essential reference for researchers in academia as well as industrial engineers.
