Packet Forwarding Technologies

As Internet traffic continues to grow exponentially, there is a great need to build Internet protocol (IP) routers with high-speed and high-capacity packet networking capabilities. The first book to explore this subject, Packet Forwarding Technologies explains in depth packet forwarding concepts and implementation technologies. It covers the

Weidong Wu received his PhD in electronics and information engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China. In 2006, he joined Wuhan University of Science and Technology. His research involves algorithms to improve Internet router performance, network management, network security, and traffi c engineering.
