Many engineers and students experience difficulty in making sense of issues associated with IP and ATM teletraffic techniques. This is partly because of the subject itself: networks are flexible, complicated, and still evolving. However, some of the difficulties arise because of the advanced mathematical methods that have been applied to provide analytic tools. The research literature abounds with many and varied analytical approaches applied to a bewildering array of traffic mixes, switch designs and traffic control mechanisms.
Introduction to IP and ATM Design and Performance provides: an introduction to IP and ATM traffic issues; performance evaluation using analysis and simulation; presentation of key formulas describing traffic and queueing behaviour and practical examples, graphs and tables for the design of wide area networks. Particular areas addressed include the fundamental traffic control functions: connection admission control; usage parameter control; priority control; queue scheduling and buffer management.
Features include:
· Clear Expansion of typical traffic and queueing behaviour
· Simple exposition of fundamental performance evaluation methods and techniques for ATM and IP
· All formulas are available in MathCAD files on the related web-site
· Avoids the use of advanced mathematical methods
This simple intuitive approach is easy to follow and will benefit both engineers in the telecommunications industry and undergraduate and postgraduate students in telecommunications, communications engineering, computer engineering courses.

Introduction to IP and ATM Design and Performance With Applications Analysis Software Second Edition J M Pitts and J A Schormans Queen Mary, University of London, UK "...take on network design and performance issues and win!" Building on the first edition's success, this second edition includes a substantial amount of new material, particularly to reflect the growth in the importance of traffic engineering for IP. Since the publication of the first edition there has been considerable work in the IP community to make the technology QoS aware. Essentially the techniques and mechanisms required to do this are generic, but are often disguised by the use of confusing jargon. The authors keep things intuitive and easy to understand, offering a simple and imaginative approach to analytical techniques and providing a fundamental grasp of queueing methods for key switching, buffering, and traffic control functions. Armed with this second edition, engineers and students will be able to tackle the network design and performance issues of today's - and tomorrow's - technologies ... with confidence! Features include:
* Essentials of IP and ATM performance evaluation using analysis and simulation
* Key formulas for traffic and queueing behaviour
* Practical examples, graphs and tables for design and dimensioning
* Introduction to simulation, including accelerated techniques
* Four chapters dedicated to IP queueing, resource reservation, buffer management and self-similar traffic
* Excess-rate analysis fully explained - leading to many simple-to-use solutions for both IP and ATM
* Summary chapter of traffic issues and solutions, giving a route map to all formulas, their parameters, usage and location
* An accompanying website featuring all the formulas in MathCAD(r) files so you can try them out for yourself!
