Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Your true value isn't merely the money you make, but the access you can provide to highly valued clients. The secret is finding those who find you valuable and serving them better than anyone else can. #2 The market abhors a profit. A profit is only tolerated if demand is higher than supply. A coffee shop with a line out the door can charge a price that covers all costs as well as a profit margin. An empty coffee shop will start discounting to customers in an effort to minimize the losses it's taking on rent, staff, and utilities. #3 The balance between supply and demand is what makes you money. If you’re able to keep yourself oversubscribed, without anyone missing out on your service, you’ll have no problem being profitable. #4 The principles of becoming oversubscribed can be applied to many aspects of your business. For example, if you want to hire top talent, you must be oversubscribed for top talent. Some talented people who would love the job will miss out. If you want impactful publicity, you must be oversubscribed for people who want the story you have to share.

Network Algorithmics: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Designing Fast Networked Devices, Second Edition takes an interdisciplinary approach to applying principles for efficient implementation of network devices, offering solutions to the problem of network implementation bottlenecks. In designing a network device, there are dozens of decisions that affect the speed with which it will perform – sometimes for better, but sometimes for worse. The book provides a complete and coherent methodology for maximizing speed while meeting network design goals. The book is uniquely focused on the seamless integration of data structures, algorithms, operating systems and hardware/software co-designs for high-performance routers/switches and network end systems. Thoroughly updated based on courses taught by the authors over the past decade, the book lays out the bottlenecks most often encountered at four disparate levels of implementation: protocol, OS, hardware and architecture. It then develops fifteen principles key to breaking these bottlenecks, systematically applying them to bottlenecks found in end-nodes, interconnect devices and specialty functions located along the network. Later sections discuss the inherent challenges of modern cloud computing and data center networking. Offers techniques that address common bottlenecks of interconnect devices, including routers, bridges, gateways, endnodes, and Web servers Presents many practical algorithmic concepts that students and readers can work with immediately Revised and updated throughout to discuss the latest developments from authors’ courses, including measurement algorithmics, randomization, regular expression matching, and software-defined networking Includes a new, rich set of homework exercises and exam questions to facilitate classroom use
