Opis

The paradigm of accessing knowledge using networktechnology is part of the everyday task of learning. However, it isa daunting mission to seek the right piece of information amongdata available in the internetworks. This book focuses on optimizingknowledge processing through the use of intelligent networks ina campus environment. The initial part of this book providesyou with the analysis of the data traffic characteristics ofcampus networks in order to develop insight into their operation andperformance. Intelligent components are then included in thenetwork architecture turning it into an intelligent educational network.The book introduces a methodology for understanding networktraffic behavior through the combination of quality ofservice, degradation policies, and a queue scheme. It also suggests a newapproach in routing network packets intelligently by dividing theapplication layer into layers that deals with the forwardingpacket process, the quality of service integrated into the packet, andthe type of application the packet belongs to.
