About this title

Review

Combines principles from computer architecture, algorithms and networking into a set of practices and methodologies to improve performance, scalability, security, and power efficiency in network system design

From the Back Cover

A structured approach to the technical aspects of network systems

Architecture of Network Systems Dimitrios Serpanos and Tilman Wolf

This is the most comprehensive book on network systems, covering design and evaluation techniques from the link layer to application layer. It beautifully blends networking with architecture and operating systems with just the right amount of detail. The book will serve as an outstanding text and reference for graduate students and researchers in the emerging area of architecture of networking systems.

- Laxmi Narayan Bhuyan, Distinguished Professor and Chair, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of California, Riverside

Architecture of Network Systems is a very well-written book that covers fundamental concepts, principles, and protocols in networking/switching, as well as their real implementation solutions. I’d highly recommend it to people studying or working in computer networking.

-H. Jonathan Chao, Head of Department and Professor, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Polytechnic Institute of NYU

Network systems combine design principles and technologies from computer architecture, embedded systems, algorithms, and networking. Architecture of Network Systems explains the practice and methodologies that are necessary to solve a broad range of problems in network system design, including issues related to performance, scalability, security, and power efficiency. Leading researchers Dimitrios Serpanos and Tilman Wolf discuss network systems and their components at all layers of the protocol stack, bridging the gap between design and operation. This systematic treatment ranges from basic to advanced topics, exposing major challenges in network systems architecture and divulging their solutions.

Features

• Provides comprehensive coverage of the technical aspects of network systems, including system-on-chip technologies, embedded protocol processing and high-performance and low-power design.
• Develops a functional approach to network system architecture based on the OSI reference model, which is useful for practitioners at every level.
• Covers both fundamentals and the latest developments in network systems architecture, including network-on-chip, network processors, algorithms for lookup and classification, and network systems for the next-generation Internet.
