Internet, Intranet, verteilte Anwendungen... Die Computerwelt wird zunehmend vernetzt, und die Leistungsfähigkeit der Anwendungen hängt entscheidend von der Leistungsfähigkeit der Netzwerke ab. Innerhalb der letzten fünf Jahre entdeckte man, daß der Netzwerkverkehr einem selbstähnlichen (fraktalen) Muster folgt. Ein Team von Experten spricht mit diesem hochaktuellen Band ein breites Publikum von Netzwerkingenieuren aus vielen Bereichen an. (03/00)
