This clearly-written text/reference provides a practical guide to flow-aware networking (FAN), one of the most promising new quality-of-service architectures for the Future Internet. The latest concepts are examined in detail, including coverage of approximate flow-aware networking. The scope and evolution of the debate on network neutrality is also discussed.

Topics and features:

• Provides a broad survey of flow-oriented approaches and solutions based on the concept of flows
  
• Presents a range of mechanisms for improving transmission performance of streaming flows under congestion
  
• Illustrates how problems caused by congestion may be solved in a multilayer environment, proposing new methods for enhancing transmission in wired-wireless FAN
  
• Analyzes aspects of fair transmission in FAN, reviewing algorithms that improve transmission of streaming flows during network failures, and investigating the capabilities of FAN in relation to service differentiation
  
• Describes the implementation aspects of the cross-protect router, presenting the implementation suite and the first tests results of the developed prototype
  
• Concludes each chapter with review questions, with answers provided at the end of the book
  

Offering valuable information for anyone wanting to better understand the basic principles underlying modern networking
