Description
Stochastic Network Calculus by Yuming Jiang and Yong Liu provides a comprehensive overview of stochastic network calculus, a theory that deals with queuing systems in computer networks. This field focuses on performance guarantees, using alternative algebras such as the min-plus algebra to transform complex network systems into analytically tractable ones. The book explores how bounds can be used to characterize traffic and service processes, which is an extension of initial ideas introduced for deterministic network calculus. It summarizes results that can be applied in designing computer networks to provide stochastic service guarantees. By understanding stochastic network calculus, readers can gain insights into the design of computer networks and improve their performance.
