Resilient Routing in Communication Networks, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2015 Computer Communications and Networks Series

This important text addresses the latest issues in end-to-end resilient routing in communication networks. The work highlights the main causes of failures of network nodes and links, and presents an overview of resilient routing mechanisms, covering issues related to the Future Internet (FI), wireless mesh networks (WMNs), and vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). Features: discusses FI architecture for network virtualization; introduces proposals for dedicated and shared protection in random failure scenarios and against malicious activities; describes measures for WMN survivability that allow for evaluation of performance under multiple failures; proposes a new scheme to enable proactive updates of WMN antenna alignment; includes a detailed analysis of the differentiated reliability requirements for VANET applications, with a focus on issues of multi?hop data delivery; reviews techniques for improving the stability of end-to-end VANET communication paths based on multipath routing and anycast forwarding.

Dr. Jacek Rak is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Communications at the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Informatics of Gdansk University of Technology, Poland.

Presents a comprehensive overview of resilient routing techniques in communication networks, as well as related open research areas Describes novel approaches for Future Internet, Wireless Mesh Networks, and Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks Discusses how to maintain reliable transmission in the presence of disaster-based region disruptions and malicious human activities
