Management, Control and Evolution of IP Networks

Internet Protocol (IP) Networks

Internet Protocol (IP) networks have, for a number of years, provided the basis for modern communication channels. However, the control and management of these networks needs to be extended so that the required Quality of Service can be achieved.

Information about new generations of IP networks is given, covering the future of pervasive networks (that is, networks that are always present), Wi-Fi, the control of mobility and improved Quality of Service, sensor networks, inter-vehicle communication and optical networks.
