The Competitive Internet Service Provider: Network Architecture, Interconnection, Traffic Engineering and Network Design
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, April 2006, Pages: 398
Over the last ten years, many ISP companies have sprung into existence and now compete massively for customers. In addition, practically all the old telephone companies have entered the ISP market, either directly or via sub companies. Due to the dramatic increase in competition, it has become increasingly important for ISPs to run an efficient and cost-effective business. This book sets out to provide guidance for those seeking to do just that, in a comprehensive reference that draws on state-of-the-art research in network technology. It stresses the need for the ISP to differentiate itself from its competitors by clearly defining the criteria, which will enable to operate with the greatest efficiency and deliver the highest Quality of Service. Contrary to most books on the market, this publication does not only focus on IETF (Internet Engineering Taskforce)-based Quality of Service approaches, but rather offers a comparative evaluation of different methods as they are discussed in the research community. Those at the forefront of network technology research will also find this a valuable reference tool which discusses the latest scientific methods such as queuing theory, dynamic programming, robust optimization theory, and illustrates all examples using numerous mathematical models and simulations.
