This book describes and compares both the IPv4 and IPv6 versions of OSPF and IS-IS. It explains OSPF and IS-IS by grounding the analysis on the principles of Link State Routing (LSR). It deliberately separates principles from technologies. Understanding the principles behind the technologies makes the learning process easier and more solid. Moreover, it helps uncovering the dissimilarities and commonalities of OSPF and IS-IS and exposing their stronger and weaker features. The chapters on principles explain the features of LSR protocols and discuss the alternative design options, independently of technologies. The chapters on technologies provide a comprehensive description of OSPF and IS-IS with enough detail for professionals that need to work with these technologies. The final part of the book describes and discusses a large set of experiments with Cisco routers designed to illustrate the various features of OSPF and IS-IS. In particular, the experiments related to the synchronization mechanisms are not usually found in the 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 .
