Features: This book introduces the fundamentals of communication network performance analysis, primarily discussing the performance analysis of circuit-switched networks and connection-oriented data networks. Chapter 1 provides an overview of communication networks; Chapter 2 covers Poisson processes, birth-death processes, and queuing systems; Chapter 3 discusses local performance analysis of communication networks; Chapter 4 discusses global performance analysis of communication networks; Chapter 5 discusses topological structure analysis of communication networks; Chapter 6 discusses random simulation of communication networks; and Chapter 7 discusses reliability analysis of communication networks. Each chapter includes some exercises, and some exercises come with brief answers. This book can serve as a textbook for courses such as "Fundamentals of Communication Networks" or "Communication Network Performance Analysis," as well as a reference for faculty and students in science and engineering disciplines and engineering who wish to gain knowledge in communication network performance analysis. ...
