Klappentext This book presents all techniques of performance evaluation of computers, networks, and telecommunications in a balanced manner. It is unique in that no other book covers all of the techniques, nor do they treat computer and telecommunications systems as inseparable issues, which the author does here. This book fills a gap by providing the only singular, all-encompassing textbook on the subject.
