High-speed networking: a systematic approach to high-bandwidth low-latency communications

Abstract

This tutorial presents a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of high-speed networking, based on the book high-speed networking: a systematic approach to high-bandwidth low-latency communication. The target audience includes computer scientists and engineers who may have expertise in a narrow aspect of high-speed networking but want to gain a broader understanding of all aspects of high-speed networking and the impact that their designs have on overall network performance. This tutorial presents a systemic approach to high-speed networks, where the goal is to provide high bandwidth and low latency to distribute applications, and to deal with the high bandwidth-x-delay product that results from high-speed networking over long distances.
