Data networking now plays a major role in everyday life and new applications continue to appear at a blinding pace. Yet we still do not have a sound foundation for designing, evaluating and managing these networks. This book covers topics at the intersection of algorithms and networking. It builds a complete picture of the current state of research on Next Generation Networks and the challenges for the years ahead. Particular focus is given to evolving research initiatives and the architecture they propose and implications for networking. Topics: Network design and provisioning, hardware issues, layer-3 algorithms and MPLS, BGP and Inter AS routing, packet processing for routing, security andnetwork management, load balancing, oblivious routing and stochastic algorithms, network coding for multicast, overlay routing for P2P networking and content delivery. This timely volume will be of interest to a broad readership fromgraduate students to researchers looking to survey recent research its open questions. Timely comprehensive treatment on the current state of research on Next Generation Networks Focuses on evolving research initiatives such as FIND and GENI Written by renowned experts from academia and industry INDICE: Part I: Next Generation Network Architecture.- Virtualization as an Architectural Concept.- Network Design for Substrate Optimization.- Designing Networks for Optimizability.- Cross Layer Optimizations.- Part II: Physical Networks.- Optical Resource Management for Designing Reliable Core Optical Networks.- Wireless Spectrum Management.- Scaling the Ethernet.- Part III: PacketNetwork.- Routing.- Packet Processing.- Inter AS Routing.- Part IV: Network Management and Security.- Network Measurement Instrumentation.- Anomaly Detection and Data Mining.- Part V: Next Generation Network Applications.- Overlay Networks.- Internet Research.- Content Distribution Networks.- Social Networks.-Distributed Virtual Environments.
