This book is one of the few devoted entirely to the design of telecommunications networks and the first to deal with the topic in sufficient depth to allow the reader to actually solve network design problems on a realistic scale. It is written by a leading expert in the field of network design who has developed and taught many courses in this subject and has developed actual network design tools, which are widely used in industry. The text explains the principles of network design so that the reader can continue to apply them even as new networking architectures emerge.

Synopsis:
Presenting many of the algorithms and techniques fundamental to the design and analysis of computer networks, the focus of this new text is on algorithms which are applicable across many networking architectures rather than on specific technologies. This book concentrates on network design and methodologies for developing voice and data networks. It includes pseudo-code descriptions of the algorithms and their component functions and data structures. The text also provides realistic applications of algorithms via a software tool (included in the accompanying solutions manual 0-07 034229-6) for graphical displays of networks, written in C for IBM PCs and compatibles.
