Introduction to Queueing Networks

By G. Pujolle and Erol Gelenbe

Queueing networks are a long-established aspect of communications systems, which have become particularly important with the growth of digital communications and the increased use of computers in all areas of the communications industry. Although they are so important, the practical applications of mathematical queueing theory to data communications systems and networks are rarely discussed at an introductory level. However, in this book the authors set out to do just this. There is a clear introduction to mathematical queueing theory, concentrating on those aspects which have direct applications in communications systems."

Excellent resource for network queueing theory

An indespensible reference for high performance networking, this book clearly and precisely addresses the complicated and oft-overlooked subject of queueing theory. Not for the weak of math - elementary knowledge of statistics is a must.
