Informationen zum Autor George Varghese is a widely recognized authority on the art of network protocol implementation. Currently he holds the Jonathan B. Postel Chair of Networking at the University of California, Los Angeles. Earlier he was a Partner at Microsoft Research, and served as a professor in the departments of Computer Science at UC-San Diego and Washington University. He was elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2022, to the Internet Hall of Fame in 2021, to the National Academy of Inventors in 2020, to the National Academy of Engineering in 2017, and as a Fellow of the ACM in 2002. He co-founded a startup called NetSift in 2004 that was acquired by Cisco in 2005. With colleagues, he holds 26 patents in the general field of network algorithmics. Several algorithms that he helped develop have found their way into commercial systems, including Linux (timing wheels), the Cisco GSR (DRR), and MS Windows (IP lookups). Varghese has written more than 100 papers on networking, computer architecture, genomics, and databases. Klappentext Many networking books cover the protocols so that professionals have an understanding of the fundamentals of network infrastructure. This book takes a completely new approach and focuses on the needs of those who are implementing protocols in networking products as opposed to designing protocols. The book provides a set of techniques to overcome implementation bottlenecks at all networking devices (mainly servers and routers) and provides a set of principles and models to help overcome current and future networking bottlenecks. An interdisciplinary approach is used because the techniques for applying these principles come from diverse areas of computing such as architecture! operating systems! hardware design! and algorithms. Zusammenfassung Provides a methodology for maximizing speed while meeting other design goals. This book examines the implementation bottlenecks that are most often encountered at 4 disparate levels of implementation: protocol! OS! hardware! and architecture. It addresses the bottlenecks found in different kinds of network devices! and offers ways to break them.
