A Practical Approach to Corporate Networks Engineering is dedicated to corporate network design and engineering, covering the different levels of network design and deployment. The main theoretical concepts are explained and the different functioning mechanisms are illustrated with practical experiments. Using an open source network simulator that is able to emulate real network equipment and run concrete network scenarios (Graphical Network Simulator), the authors present several realistic network scenarios that illustrate the different network protocols and mechanisms and can be easily replicated by readers at home. Readers will be able to configure the different network equipments, run the scenarios and capture traffic at the different network links on their own, ordinary PC, acquiring a deep knowledge of the underlying network protocols and mechanisms. This interactive and practical teaching approach is very motivating and effective, since students can easily follow the explanations that are given throughout the book, making this work a valuable addition to the existing literature.

Designing the future internet requires an in-depth consideration of the mana- ment,dimensioningandtra?ccontrolissuesthatwillbe involvedinthe network operations of these networks. The International Workshop on Tra?c Mana- ment and Tra?c Engineering of the Future Internet, FITraMEn2008, organized 1 within the framework of the Network of Excellence Euro-NF,providedanopen forum to present and discuss new ideas in this area in the context of ?xed, wireless and spontaneous (ad hoc and sensor) networks. TheNetworkofExcellenceEuro-NF"AnticipatingtheNetworkoftheFuture - From Theory to Design" is a European project funded by the European Union withintheSeventhFrameworkProgram.ThefocusofEuro-NFistodevelopnew principles and methods to design/dimension/control/manage multi-technology architectures. The emerging networking paradigms raise new challenging sci- ti?c and technological problems embedded in complex policy, governance, and worldwide standards issues. Dealing with the diversity of these scienti?c and social, political and economic challenges requires the integration of a wide range of research capabilities, a role that Euro-NF aims to ful?ll. This proceedings volume contains a selection of the research contributions presented at FITraMEn 2008. The workshop was held December 11-12, 2008 in 2 Porto, Portugal, organized by Instituto de Telecomunica, c" oes .
