A book of this scope and size could not have been written without help from many people. We acknowledge much stimulation that came from early discussions with Markus Hofmann who headed the Bell Labs research effort in the Cloud. We have had incisive discussions on various topics of networking with Mark Clougherty, Vijay Gurbani, and Dimitri Stiliadis.

We have been much influenced and supported by David Amzallag (then CTO of
