The opposite has happened: Technologies like SDN and NFV, although immensely valuable, are exacerbating complexity instead of solving it. Navigating Network Complexity is the first comprehensive guide to managing this complexity in both deployment and day-to-day operations.       Russ White and Jeff Tantsura introduce modern complexity theory from the standpoint of the working network engineer, helping you apply it to the practical problems you face every day. Avoiding complex mathematical models, they show how to characterize network complexity, so you can understand it and control it.       The authors examine specific techniques and technologies associated with network control planes, including SDNs, fast reroute, segment routing, service chaining, and cloud computing. They reveal how each of these affects network design and complexity and help you anticipate causes of failure in highly complex systems.       Next, they turn to modern control planes, examining the fundamental operating principles of SDNs, such as OpenFlow and I2RS, network and other service function virtualization, content distribution networks, Layer 2 fabrics, and service chaining solutions. You’ll learn how each of these might both resolve and increase complexity in network design and operations and what you can do about it.        Coverage includes:                Defining complexity, understanding its components, and measuring it           Mastering a straightforward “state, speed, and surface” model for analyzing complexity           Controlling complexity in design, deployment, operations, protocols, and programmable networks           Understanding how complex network systems begin to fail and how to prevent failure           Recognizing complexity tradeoffs in service virtualization and service chaining           Managing new challenges of complexity in virtualized and cloud environments           Learning why constructs such as hierarchical design, aggregation, and protocol layering work and when they work best           Choosing the right models to contain complexity as your network changes          From start to finish, Navigating Network Complexity helps you assess the true impact of new network technologies, so they can capture more value with fewer problems.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746355519761,"sku":"NGR9780133989359","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50344431255825,"sku":"CIN0133989356VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0133989356.jpg?v=1750812201"},{"product_id":"optimal-routing-design-book-russ-white-9781587051876","title":"Optimal Routing Design","description":"Techniques for optimizing large-scale IP routing operation and managing network growth     Understand the goals of scalable network design, including tradeoffs between network scaling, convergence speed, and resiliency  Learn basic techniques applicable to any network design, including hierarchy, addressing, summarization, and information hiding  Examine the deployment and operation of EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS protocols on large-scale networks  Understand when and how to use a BGP core in a large-scale network and how to use BGP to connect to external networks  Apply high availability and fast convergence to achieve 99.999 percent, or “five 9s” network uptime  Secure routing systems with the latest routing protocol security best practices  Understand the various techniques used for carrying routing information through a VPN  Optimal Routing Design provides the tools and techniques, learned through years of experience with network design and deployment, to build a large-scale or scalable IP-routed network.
