Most everything in our experience requires management in some form
or other: our gardens, our automobiles, our minds, our bodies, our
love lives, our businesses, our forests, our countries, etc.
Sometimes we don't call it "management" per se. We seldom talk
about managing our minds or automobiles. But if we think of
management in terms of monitoring, maintaining, and cultivating
with respect to some goal, then it makes sense. We certainly
monitor an automobile, albeit unconsciously, to make sure that it
doesn't exhibit signs of trouble. And we certainly try to cultivate
our minds. This book is about managing networks. That itself is not
a new concept. We've been managing the networks that support our
telephones for about 100 years, and we've been managing the
networks that support our computers for about 20 years. What is new
(and what motivated me to write this book) is the following: (i)
the enormous advancements in networking technology as we transition
th st from the 20 century to the 21 century, (ii) the increasing
dependence of human activities on networking technology, and (iii)
the commercialization of services that depend on networking
technology (e.g., email and electronic commerce).
