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.
