Each chapter is divided into three sections: a tutorial on a technology (e.g., wide-area networking), a discussion of the management instrumentation available that is associated with the technology, and real-world application programs which show how problems associated with the technology can be solved by monitoring and controlling the instrumentation. Describes the theory, technology, and algorithms used to manage real networks.
