Computing In Communication Networks

Computing in Communication Networks: From Theory to Practice provides comprehensive details and practical implementation tactics on the novel concepts and enabling technologies at the core of the paradigm shift from store and forward (dumb) to compute and forward (intelligent) in future communication networks and systems. The book explains how to create virtualized large scale testbeds using well-established open source software, such as Mininet and Docker. It shows how and where to place disruptive techniques, such as machine learning, compressed sensing, or network coding in a newly built testbed. In addition, it presents a comprehensive overview of current standardization activities. Specific chapters explore upcoming communication networks that support verticals in transportation, industry, construction, agriculture, health care and energy grids, underlying concepts, such as network slicing and mobile edge cloud, enabling technologies, such as SDN/NFV/ ICN, disruptive innovations, such as network coding, compressed sensing and machine learning, how to build a virtualized network infrastructure testbed on one’s own computer, and more. Provides a uniquely comprehensive overview on the individual building blocks that comprise the concept of computing in future networks Gives practical hands-on activities to bridge theory and implementation Includes software and examples that are not only employed throughout the book, but also hosted on a dedicated website

Computer and Communication Networks, Second Edition, explains the modern technologies of networking and communications, preparing you to analyze and simulate complex networks, and to design cost-effective networks for emerging requirements. Offering uniquely balanced coverage of basic and advanced topics, it teaches through case studies, realistic examples and exercises, and intuitive illustrations. Nader F. Mir establishes a solid foundation in basic networking concepts; TCP/IP schemes; wireless and LTE networks; Internet applications, such as Web and e-mail; and network security. Then, he delves into both network analysis and advanced networking protocols, VoIP, cloud-based multimedia networking, SDN, and virtualized networks. In this new edition, Mir provides updated, practical, scenario-based information that many networking books lack, offering a uniquely effective blend of theory and implementation. Drawing on extensive field experience, he presents many contemporary applications and covers key topics that other texts overlook, including P2P and voice/video networking, SDN, information-centric networking, and modern router/switch design. Students, researchers, and networking professionals will find up-to-date, thorough coverage of Packet switching Internet protocols (including IPv6) Networking devices Links and link interfaces LANs, WANs, and Internetworking Multicast routing, and protocols Wide area wireless networks and LTE Transport and end-to-end protocols Network applications and management Network security Network queues and delay analysis Advanced router/switch architecture QoS and scheduling Tunneling, VPNs, and MPLS All-optical networks, WDM, and GMPLS Cloud computing and network virtualization Software defined networking (SDN) VoIP signaling Media exchange and voice/video compression Distributed/cloud-based multimedia networks Mobile ad hoc networks Wireless sensor networks Key features include More than three hundred fifty figures that simplify complex topics Numerous algorithms that summarize key networking protocols and equations Up-to-date case studies illuminating concepts and theory Approximately four hundred exercises and examples honed over Mir’s twenty years of teaching networking

Communication networks and computer systems research is entering a new phase in which many of the established models and techniques of the last twenty years are being challenged. The research community is continuing to free itself from past intellectual constraints so that it may fully exploit the convergence of computing and communications. Evaluating the performance of emerging communications and computer systems constitutes a huge challenge. Thus, current research provides a set of heterogeneous tools and techniques embracing the uncertainties of time and space varying environments when the requests for diverse services are made in real time, and with very different quality of service expectations. These novel techniques will lead to fast and economic service deployment and effective dynamic resource management, and hence to new business strategies and infrastructures that will facilitate the emergence of future services and applications.
