Network Routing Algorithms Protocols and Architectures

Аннотация

My involvement with computer networking started with TheoryNet (1977), an e-mail system for theoretical computer scientists. Later (1981) I helped lead the computer science network (CSNET) project, which eventually connected most academic and many industrial computer research groups. In the early days, our efforts were primarily focused on providing connectivity and being able to use applications such as e-mail, ftp, and telnet. However, even in the simple (by today’s standards) environment of the 1970s and early 1980s (Arpanet, CSNET, and other experimental Internet networks), getting routing “right” turned out to be quite challenging.
