With ever-increasing demands on capacity, quality of service, speed, and
reliability, current Internet systems are under strain and under review.
Combining contributions from experts in the field, this book captures
the most recent and innovative designs, architectures, protocols, and
mechanisms that will enable researchers to successfully build the next-
generation Internet. A broad perspective is provided, with topics
including innovations at the physical/transmission layer in wired and
wireless media, as well as the support for new switching and routing
paradigms at the device and sub-system layer. The proposed alternatives
to TCP and UDP at the data transport layer for emerging environments
are also covered, as are the novel models and theoretical foundations
proposed for understanding network complexity. Finally, new approaches for
pricing and network economics are discussed, making this ideal for students,
researchers, and practitioners who need to know about designing, constructing,
and operating the next-generation Internet.
