Due to the dramatic increase in competition over the last few
years, it has become more and more important for Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) to run an efficient business and offer an adequate
Quality of Service. "The Competitive Internet Service Provider" is
a comprehensive guide for those seeking to do just that.
Oliver Heckmann approaches the issue from a system point of
view, looking not only at running a network, but also at connecting
the network with peering and transit partners or planning the
expansion of the network.
"The Competitive Internet Service Provider: " Offers an advanced
reference on the topic, drawing on state-of-the art research in
network technology. Clearly defines the criteria enabling ISPs to
operate with the greatest efficiency and deliver adequate Quality
of Service. Discusses the implications of the future multiservice
Internet and multimedia applications such as Voice over IP,
peer-to-peer, or network games. Delivers a comparative evaluation
of different feasible Quality of Service approaches. Explores
scientific methods such as queuing theory, network calculus, and
optimization theory. Illustrates concepts throughout with
mathematical models and simulations.
This invaluable reference will provide academic and industrial
researchers in the field of network and communications technology,
graduate students on telecommunications courses, as well as ISP
managers, engineers and technicians, equipment manufacturers and
consultants, an understanding of the concepts and issues involved
in running a successful ISP.
