Summary

The text pulls together in a single volume key papers on the major approaches to routing in networks, where the networks include circuit- switching networks as well as packet-switching networks.

Features

each part of the book is introduced with a conceptual overview by the author/editor.
contains papers that touch on all of the major approaches to routing employed in communications networks today.
uses paper written by experts in the field, and in most cases, by people that developed the algorithms they describe.
papers are self-contained so students previously unfamiliar with a particular routing approach described in one of the papers will gain an understanding of the factors that influenced the choice of approach, the reasons for adopting the given approach, and the performance provided by that approach.
includes an extensive bibliography for each paper. Interested students will gain a ready set of references for more detailed information about each approach presented as well as pointers to related work.
