"With Performance Evaluation and Planning Methods for the Next Generation Internet, the editors have prepared a volume that outlines and illustrates the problems that must be faced in order for the next generation of IP networks to meet their expected performance. TOC:Foreword.- Avant-propos.- Contributing Authors.- Preface.- Design of IP Networks with End-to-End Performance Guarantees.- Design of IP Virtual Private Networks under End-to-end QoS Constraints.- Design of Protected Working Capacity Envelopes Based on p-Cycles: An alternative framework for survivable automated lightpath provisioning.- Network Traffic Engineering with Varied Levels of Protection in the Next Generation Internet.- Balancing Traffic Flows in Resilient Packet Rings.- Game-Theoretic Resource Pricing for the Next Generation Internet.- Advanced Methods for the Estimation of the Origin Destination Traffic Matrix.- Energy and Cost Optimizations in Wireless Sensor Networks: A survey.- Duality-Based TCP Congestion Control with Error Analysis.- Fast Algorithmic Solutions to Multi-Dimensional Birth-Death Processes with Applications to Telecommunication Systems.- A New Paradigm for On-Line Management of Communication Networks with Multiplicative Feedback Control.- Comparing Locality of Reference - Some Folk Theorems for the Miss Rate and the Output of Caches."
