Network Routing - Fundamentals, Applications And Emerging Technologies

This book discusses the current status of QoE research; reporting latest advances from various standardisation bodies (ITU, ETSI, IEEE, IETF)

Network Routing: Fundamentals, Applications and Emerging Technologies serves as single point of reference for both advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying network routing, covering both the fundamental and more moderately advanced concepts of routing in traditional data networks such as the Internet, and emerging routing concepts currently being researched and developed, such as optical networks, wireless ad hoc networks, and sensor networks. Furthermore, QoS routing, and security and reliability are also discussed. Additionally, the book assesses the need for the different technologies, techniques and solutions for given problems in network routing, and provides model solutions.

The book is divided into 5 parts: I) Fundamental Concepts (Introduction to Network Routing, Basic Routing Algorithms, Fundamental Routing Protocols), II) Routing with QoS and Traffic Engineering (QoS Routing, and Routing and MPLS Traffic Engineering), III) Routing in the Internet (Interior Gateway Protocol and Exterior Gateway Protocol), IV) Other Routing Contexts (Routing in ATM Networks, Optical Networks, Cellular Wireless, Wireless Ad Hoc, and Wireless Sensor Networks), and Part V) Advanced Concepts (Security in Routing and Reliability and Fault-Tolerance in Routing.)

• Discusses the current status of QoE research; reporting latest advances from various standardisation bodies (e.g. ITU, ETSI, IEEE, IETF)
• Provides guidelines on QoE assessment and management practice
• Explores methods, means and architectures of QoE
• Addresses multiple technologies and requires input from multiple disciplines such as engineering, sociology and psychology
• Brings together contributions from recognized experts (worldwide) in the area of subjective and objective QoE video assessment
• Considers future requirements of QoE
