This books concentrates on the important topic of the performance of computer communications networks, particularly on the performance of the multiple access protocols they use. The approach is mathematical, and the authors clearly state the mathematical prerequisities they expect from the reader: probability theory, stochastic processes in general, and Markov chains and the M/G/1 queue in particular. The mathematical prerequisities allow the the authors to do a careful and complete job of deriving the results they need. Each chapter ends with a set of challenging exercises, for those who wish to use the book as a text, and the book ends with an extensive bibliography. |
