About this book
Reviews
“Readers looking for all of the classical models used to predict the behavior of computer networks may be interested in this book. Gebali presents the material, interesting for a teacher or a graduate student, in a single volume that can also be used by a specialist as a refresher on theory. … this book can be used as a good appendix to an academic course on network behavior modeling, to learn the fundamentals in a solid way.” (Piotr Cholda, Computing Reviews, October, 2015)
