Modeling and analysis of telecommunications networks / Jeremiah F. Hayes, Thimma V.J. Ganesh Babu.

This book covers at an advanced level mathematical methods for analysis of telecommunication networks. The book concentrates on various call models used in telecommunications such as quality of service (QoS) in packet-switched Internet Protocol (IP) networks, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Ti...
