From the reviews:“This book provides first an elementary introduction into algorithms for network routing. … In principle, the investigations of this book focus on two major types of problems, namely minimum cost routing and cache placement problems. … The book is well-written in an easily understanding form. … the book can be recommended to graduate students, researchers and professionals interested in routing in computer networks and network algorithms.” (Frank Werner, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1225, 2012)
