The purpose of network performance analysis is to investigate how
traffic-management mechanisms deployed in the network affect the
allocation of resources amongst its users and the performance they
experience. This topic can be studied by the construction of models
of traffic management mechanisms and observing how they perform by
applying them to some flow of network traffic.
This useful volume introduces concepts and principles of network
performance analysis by example, using the J programming language.
J is rich in mathematical functionality, which makes it an ideal
tool for analytical methods. The book favours a practical approach
and develops functions in J to demonstrate mathematical concepts,
thereby enabling readers to explore the underlying principles
behind network performance analysis. In addition, this allows the
subject to become more accessible to those who, although have a
mathematical background, are not pure mathematicians.
Topics and features:
a [ Uses an example-driven approach to introduce the
fundamentals of network performance analysis
a [ Provides a concise introduction to the J programming
language
a [ Presents network calculus as a method for designing and
engineering networks
a [ Focuses on statistical analysis and stochastic processes
a [ Demonstrates how to simulate traffic with both short-range
and long-range dependence properties
a [ Covers ATM QoS, and examines Internet congestion control
Network Performance Analysis will equally appeal to network
professionals and postgraduates studying the topic by providing
valuable analytical tools and using J as a means of offering a
practical treatment of the subject. Dr. Holthas a broad range of
industry experience and now regularly lectures on this topic.
