This book focuses on the design and analysis of switch architectures suitablefor 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 arein the context of switches, many of the fundamental principles are relevant to other communication networks with regular topologies.Professor Tony T. Lee received his BSEE from National Cheng Kung University, and his MS and PhD degrees from Polytechnic University. He is Professor of Information Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and an adjunct Professor at the Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Science. From 1991 to 1993, he was a Professor of Electrical Engineering at Polytechnic Institute. He served with AT&T Bell and Bellcore. He is now an Editor ofthe IEEE Transactions on Communications. Professor Soung Chang Liew received all his degrees from MIT. He worked at the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems and then at Bellcore. He is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Information Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is also Adjunct Professor at Southeast University in China. TCP Veno, a version of TCP which improves its performance over wireless networks, was proposed by Liew and his student, and has now been incorporated into a recent release ofLinux OS. He initiated and built the first inter-university ATM network testbed in Hong Kong in 1993.
