Network Calculus, a theory dealing with queuing systems found in computer networks, focuses on performance guarantees. The development of an information theory for stochastic service-guarantee analysis has been identified as a grand challenge for future networking research. Towards that end, stochastic network calculus, the probabilistic version or generalization of the (deterministic) Network Calculus, has been recognized by researchers as a crucial step.
Stochastic Network Calculus presents a comprehensive treatment for the state-of-the-art in stochastic service-guarantee analysis research and provides basic introductory material on the subject, as well as discusses the most recent research in the area. This helpful volume summarizes results for stochastic network calculus, which can be employed when designing computer networks to provide stochastic service guarantees.
Features:
Provides a solid introductory chapter, providing useful background knowledge
Reviews fundamental concepts and results of deterministic network calculus
Includes end-of-chapter problems, as well as summaries and bibliographic comments
Defines traffic models and server models for stochastic network calculus
Summarizes the basic properties of stochastic network calculus under different combinations of traffic and server models
Highlights independent case analysis
Discusses stochastic service guarantees under different scheduling disciplines
Presents applications to admission control and traffic conformance study using the analysis results
Offers an overall summary and some open research challenges for further study of the topic
Researchers and graduates in the area of performance evaluation of computer communication networks will benefit substantially from this comprehensive and easy-to-follow volume. Professionals will also find it a worthwhile reference text.ISBN:9788184894264
