In designing a network device, you make dozens of decisions that affect the speed with which it will perform―sometimes for better, but sometimes for worse. Network Algorithmics provides a complete, coherent methodology for maximizing speed while meeting your other design goals.

Author George Varghese begins by laying out the implementation bottlenecks that are most often encountered at four disparate levels of implementation: protocol, OS, hardware, and architecture. He then derives 15 solid principles―ranging from the commonly recognized to the groundbreaking―that are key to breaking these bottlenecks.

The rest of the book is devoted to a systematic application of these principles to bottlenecks found specifically in endnodes, interconnect devices, and specialty functions such as security and measurement that can be located anywhere along the network. This immensely practical, clearly presented information will benefit anyone involved with network implementation, as well as students who have made this work their goal.

FOR INSTRUCTORS: To obtain access to the solutions manual for this title simply register on our textbook website (textbooks.elsevier.com)and request access to the Computer Science subject area. Once approved (usually within one business day) you will be able to access all of the instructor-only materials through the "Instructor Manual" link on this book's academic web page at textbooks.elsevier.com.

Addresses the bottlenecks found in all kinds of network devices, (data copying, control transfer, demultiplexing, timers, and more) and offers ways to break them
Presents techniques suitable specifically for endnodes, including Web servers
Presents techniques suitable specifically for interconnect devices, including routers, bridges, and gateways
Written as a practical guide for implementers but full of valuable insights for students, teachers, and researchers
Includes end-of-chapter summaries and exercises

Editorial Reviews

Review

"George Varghese has had a remarkable impact on the real world of networking with his algorithmic innovations over many years. The networking research and development community is fortunate that he has now distilled his knowledge in this very readable, insightful, and much-needed book." --Bruce Davie, Cisco Fellow, Cisco Systems

"This book nicely describes implementation tricks for building fast networking stacks, particularly in routers. This is a much needed book, I don't know of any other that covers this sort of implementation advice. George Varghese has invented several techniques to help speed up the Internet and in his book he provides interesting insight into this, and much more." --Radia Perlman, Distinguished Engineer, Sun Microsystems

Book Description

An interdisciplinary approach to applying principles for efficient implementation in network devices, addressing and offering solutions to the problem of network implementation bottlenecks.

Unreadable

October 19, 2013

Format: Hardcover

This book does have some interesting coverage, but its presented in a way that is enormously difficult to get a coherent picture of. Every second paragraph makes a cross reference to some other part or chapter and it fast starts to get tiresome to have a constant train of thought. Some of the material is also not reader friendly by un-necessarily complicating the delivery of the subject matter by sheer verbiage. It also takes an "up from above" view of everything in a way that makes it impossible to apply a lot of this material in the real world without reading another book in parallel to this one.

I read a lot to improve my skills and keep current, and based on previous reviews, I really tried to follow this text in earnest - but after a while I just got tired of the sheer effort to navigate this book and just returned it to the store.

Very useful

March 15, 2011

Format: Hardcover

I'm a software engineer in the networking industry, specifically load balancers. In this field, performance is very critical and we are always on the lookout for making our devices faster.

I've spent quite a lot of time looking for books that contain insights, principles or even recipes that can aid professionals like us. And that's where this book becomes so invaluable, because I've not found another equivalent to it.

Varghese is an academic researcher all right, but he was in the industry and has made significant contributions to industry - such as timing wheels which is now standard for timer implementations. So the book is not dry network theory but full of practical advice, principles and examples of making fast network devices.

The author combines principles from operating systems, architecture and networking, along with simple ideas and a common-sense approach. The result is almost a cookbook of common performance issues in networking devices and ingenious ways of overcoming them.

Summary: If you are going to write software for a networking product, buy it. You won't regret it.

great book - a must read

April 22, 2005

Format: Hardcover

This is an excellent, excellent text. Techniques and principles for building high performance distributed systems are hard to come by except through experience and talking to experts. There's a lot of knowledge in the community but this book is the first time to my knowledge that someone has collected it and presented it in a coherent framework. Even if you don't work with low level stuff, this book will help you learn to think in a "systemsy" way about high-performance designs.

Multidisciplinary information related to network dynamics

January 1, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

I found this book to have a multidisciplinary approach in explaining and tackling problems related to network dynamics. George blends in various aspects of Operating Systems, Algorithm design, Compiler theory etc and provides a very concise view on various networking systems.

The chapters provide great insight on the evolution of various kinds of solutions, to a networking problem. Thought provoking.

Excellent book

Very nicely written book. Many system design tips. The author motivates each tip very well, and shows how it's applied in different context. Prof. Varghese's experiences really shine through here.
