Download or read book Looking Over the Fence at Networks written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-09-29 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable creation, the Internet encompasses a diversity of networks, technologies, and organizations. The enormous volume and great variety of data carried over it give it a rich complexity and texture. It has proved difficult to characterize, understand, or model in terms of large-scale behaviors and a detailed understanding of traffic behavior. Moreover, because it is very difficult to prototype new networksâ€"or even new networking ideasâ€"on an interesting scale, data-driven analysis and simulation are vital tools for evaluating proposed additions and changes to its design. Some argue that a vision for the future Internet should be to provide users the quality of experience they seek and to accommodate a diversity of interests. Looking Over the Fence at Networks explores how networking research could overcome the evident obstacles to help achieve this vision for the future and otherwise better understand and improve the Internet. This report stresses looking beyond the current Internet and evolutionary modifications thereof and aims to stimulate fresh thinking within the networking research community.

Download or read book Renewing U S Telecommunications Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern telecommunications infrastructureâ€"made possible by research performed over the last several decadesâ€"is an essential element of the U.S. economy. The U.S. position as a leader in telecommunications technology, however, is at risk because of the recent decline in domestic support of long-term, fundamental telecommunications research. To help understand this challenge, the National Science Foundation asked the NRC to assess the state of telecommunications research in the United States and recommend ways to halt the research decline. This report provides an examination of telecommunications research support levels, focus, and time horizon in industry, an assessment of university telecommunications research, and the implications of these findings on the health of the sector. Finally, it presents recommendations for enhancing U.S. telecommunications' research efforts.
Download or read book New Network Architectures written by Tania Tronco and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Future Internet" is a worldwide hot topic. The Internet has become a critical infrastructure for business development and social interactions. However, the immense growth of the Internet has resulted in additional stresses on its architecture, resulting in a network difficult to monitor, understand, and manage due to its huge scale in terms of connected devices and actors (end users, content providers, equipment vendors, etc). This book presents and discusses the ongoing initiatives and experimental facilities for the creation of new Future Internet Architectures using alternative approaches like Clean Slate and Incremental improvements: It considers several possible internet network use scenarios that include seamless mobility, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, internet of things and new paradigms like content and user centric networks.

Download or read book Computer Networks written by Larry L. Peterson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-04-16 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer Networks, Fourth Edition, continues to provide an enduring, practical understanding of networks and their building blocks through rich, example-based instruction. This expanded and completely updated edition covers the why of network design, focusing not just the specifications comprising today's systems but how key technologies and protocols actually work in the real world to solve specific problems. It is the only introductory computer networking book written by authors who have had first-hand experience with many of the protocols discussed in the text, who have actually designed some of them as well, and who are still actively designing the computer networks today. The book makes less use of computer code to explain protocols than earlier editions. Moreover, this new edition shifts the focus somewhat higher in the protocol stack where there is generally more innovative and exciting work going on at the application and session layers than at the link and physical layers. Other new features are: increased accessibility by clearly separating the advanced material from more fundamental via special headings and boxed features; the material is structured in such a way as to make it easier to teach top-down. Furthermore, the book outstrips the competitors in offering a more robust ancillary package for student and instructor support. The text is complemented with figures as well as links to networking resources on the Web and links to author-created materials on author-maintained Web site. Computer Networks, Fourth Edition, will be an invaluable resource for networking professionals and upper level undergraduate and graduate students in CS, EE, and CSE programs. Completely updated with new sidebar discussions that cover the deployment status of protocols described in the book. Addition of sizeable number of new exercises and solutions.

Download or read book The Real Internet Architecture written by Pamela Zave and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book offers a description of the architecture of the Internet as it actually exists now. It is a revolutionary description, based on a completely new model of network architecture, explaining how the Internet has evolved from its origins and how it is still evolving, and exposing previously unarticulated patterns and trends in network architecture. Essentially all discussion of the Internet is still dominated by the "classic" (five-layer) model put forth by its originators. This model is so outdated that it is a hindrance to understanding Internet evolution, as well as to teaching and doing effective research on networking. This book replaces it with a new model of networking called "compositional network architecture." This model has been formalized, but the book does not use the formal model; rather, the book relies on the model's accuracy and precision as a foundation for a convincing informal explanation, accessible to a much broader audience than a formal model would be (the formal model will be available on a companion website, along with teaching material). Many scholars and practitioners, seeing the Internet only through the lens of the classic Internet architecture, complain that the Internet has not evolved past its original architecture. Compositional network architecture is a general model for describing many architectures, and it shows clearly how the Internet has evolved since the early 1990s, and how it continues to evolve. Though the book is based on a conceptual model and is therefore a relatively abstract treatment, it is illustrated with hundreds of contemporary Internet examples, so there is no lack of concrete detail or grounding in reality. Compared to older works on networking, the book is also more concerned with network services-how a network helps users communicate. This is a natural outgrowth of the Internet as subject matter. Performance and scalability are the usual themes of Internet literature, as they were certainly the most important challenges of the Internet's early years. Since the 1990s, however, progress on performance and scalability has been steady and incremental. The major motivation for Internet evolution since then has been the need for enhanced services, including mobility, multicast, security, privacy, reliability, and support for content distribution, and the book will engage with these themes. It will serve as a reference for anyone dealing with internet architecture, and as a graduate textbook for networking courses"--

Download or read book Patterns in Network Architecture written by John Day and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2007-12-27 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Patterns in Network Architecture, pioneer John Day takes a unique approach to solving the problem of network architecture. Piercing the fog of history, he bridges the gap between our experience from the original ARPANET and today’s Internet to a new perspective on networking. Along the way, he shows how socioeconomic forces derailed progress and led to the current crisis. Beginning with the seven fundamental, and still unanswered, questions identified during the ARPANET’s development, Patterns in Network Architecture returns to bedrock and traces our experience both good and bad. Along the way, he uncovers overlooked patterns in protocols that simplify design and implementation and resolves the classic conflict between connection and connectionless while retaining the best of both. He finds deep new insights into the core challenges of naming and addressing, along with results from upper-layer architecture. All of this in Day’s deft hands comes together in a tour de force of elegance and simplicity with the annoying turn of events that the answer has been staring us in the face: Operating systems tell us even more about networking than we thought. The result is, in essence, the first “unified theory of networking,” and leads to a simpler, more powerful—and above all—more scalable network infrastructure. The book then lays the groundwork for how to exploit the result in the design, development, and management as we move beyond the limitations of the Internet.
