Abstract

A number of basic probability models and solutions are discussed in this chapter. These include basic distributions and the Poisson process. A large number of probability problems with a networking orientation are presented. Also examined are multiple access models, switching elements, tree networks, some interconnection networks and a multiple bus system.
