Jean Walrand and Pravin Varaiya of the University of California, 
Berkeley have written a new book. "High-Performance Communication 
Networks" is an in-depth presentation of emerging technologies 
used to build high-speed, high-performance communication 
networks. It explains how the converging telephone, data, and 
CATV technologies are combined into high-performance networks, 
and how to plan, manage, and control these networks. 

This book enables network specialists and system administrators 
to make informed decisions for implementing and maintaining their 
companies' networks. It supplies network hardware and software 
developers with the tools to develop networking solutions, and it 
provides students in electrical engineering, computer science, 
operations research, and industry courses with a substantial 
introduction to networking principles.

Topics covered include: delays, losses, admission control, 
routing, flow control, switching, network planning, pricing, and 
billing.
