[Auto Generated] xi Preface This monograph is a self-containedintroduction to traffic modeling ,stochastic networks ,and the issue of statistical multiplexing in communication networks .It is a revised and expanded version of Performance Modeling ,Loss Networks ,and Statistical Multiplexing .Broadly speaking this is the area of performance evaluation of networks .The issue of network performance is one of the key underpinnings of design ,resource allocation ,and the management of networks .This is because the user experience as well as quality of communication depends on the proper allocation of resources to handle random fluctuations in traffic .From the perspective of a network operator ,the installation of network resources or capacity is one of cost management ...
