Résumé

Dinesh C. Verma manages the Policy and Network Control PLesearch Group at the IBM T J Watson Research Center. He bas worked in the networking field for more than a decade, and has taken part in research groups at the University of Cahfornia, Berkeley, Philips Research, and IBM.

Along with having written many papers and journal articles on networking subjects, Verma holds several patents related to networking technologies. He is an active participant in various industrial forums, such as the IETF and ATM Forum, and also acts as an advisor to the IBM and Tivoli product divisions in the networkîng arena. His current research interests include performance management and Quality of Service in IP networks, the use of policies to simplify network performance management and security, and the use of content distribution networks to improve dynarmic application performance.

The Technology Series is a compreliensive and authoritative set of guides tc, the most important computing standards of today. Each title in this series is aimed at bringing computing professionals closer to, the scientists and engineers behind the technological implementations that will change tomorrow's innovations in computing.

The ability to utilize products and equipment that deliver policy features is a key competitive advantage in the networking marketplace. Policy-Based Networking: Architecture and Algorithms provides operators and architects of IP networks with an under-the-hood look at policies that will enable them to simplify the operations and management of their networks. This authoritative refèrence examines:

o Technical issues relevant to management consultants whose clients operate IP networks

o Implications of policy in such areas as Quahty of Service, IP network security (IPsec), and traffic engineering

o Standards currently being developed te, represent policies

This practical resource will help you:

o Manage SLAs or secure communications in your network by applying various algorithms

o Check and validate policies specified by an administrator for inconsistencies, mistakes, or impossible goals

o Translate high-level policies concerning business needs into low-level policies for the networking technologies tbat support those needS

o Distribute precise policies generated by a management tool to différent network devices

o Find inform ation about the different users,
applications, and machines that constitute the IP
network using the Policy management tool
