Traffic Engineering and QoS Optimization of Integrated Voice and Data Networks

Traffic Engineering and QoS Optimization of Integrated Voice and Data NetworksAuthor(s): Gerald R. Ash\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United States\nImprint: Morgan Kaufmann Publishers In\nISBN-13: 9780123706256, 978-0123706256\nSynopsis\nThis book describes, analyzes, and recommends traffic engineering (TE) and quality of service (QoS) optimization methods for integrated voice/data dynamic routing networks. These functions control a network's response to traffic demands and other stimuli, such as link failures or node failures. TE and QoS optimization is concerned with measurement, modeling, characterization, and control of network traffic, and the application of techniques to achieve specific performance objectives. The scope of the analysis and recommendations include dimensioning, call/flow and connection routing, QoS resource management, routing table management, dynamic transport routing, and operational requirements. Case studies are included .
