Description:

This book focuses on the design and analysis of switch architectures suitable for broad-band integrated networks. In particular, the emphasis is on packet-switched interconnection networks with distributed routing algorithms. The text examines the mathematical properties of networks, rather than specific implementation technologies. Although the pedagogical explanations in this book are in the context of switches, many of the fundamental principles are relevant to other communication networks with regular topologies.
