The BMO Book Sprint Team is pleased to announce the
release of the new free book, "How To Accelerate Your Internet: A
practical guide to Bandwidth Management and Optimization using Open
Source Software". The book was released in October 2006 under a
Creative Commons license, and was written in an effort to help network
architects understand and troubleshoot problems with managing Internet
bandwidth, which often result in unnecessarily high operational costs
in the developing world.
Network connections are very expensive in most parts of the world, and
it is often costly and difficult to add additional network capacity.
Therefore, effective management and optimization of bandwidth is
crucial. Research and education benefit significantly from Internet
resources, yet the majority of institutions take little or no action
to manage their bandwidth usage. This waste results in high operating
costs, slow network connections, and frustrated network users.
The goal of the book is to provide practical information on how to
gain the largest possible benefit from your connection to the
Internet. By prioritizing certain kinds of network activity, reducing
the impact of spam and viruses, providing local content caching, and
performing extensive monitoring and analysis of network usage,
Internet consumption can be brought to manageable levels. This makes
it possible to provide equitable access for all users, even when the
available bandwidth is quite small.
But technical solutions only solve part of the problem. In order to
prioritize network traffic, an organization needs to have a clear idea
of the intended purpose of the network connection, as well as insight
into how the connection is being used. The book addresses this
complex topic by covering the three major components of effective
bandwidth management: Effective policy, extensive monitoring &
analysis, and solid network implementation. In addition,
troubleshooting techniques, advanced performance tuning tips and
tricks, and real-world case studies are also provided.
The Book Sprint began with online correspondence via email, which led
to an initial face-to-face meeting of bandwidth management experts
from around the world in May 2006. Intense online collaboration
followed over the next few months, which then culminated in the
production of the 300 page printed book, as well as a PDF and HTML
version. The book was sponsored by the International Network for the
Availability of Scientific Publications (http://inasp.info/), and was
produced in association with the Abdus Salam International Centre for
Theoretical Physics (http://www.ictp.it/), Aidworld
(http://www.aidworld.org/), and Hacker Friendly LLC
(http://hackerfriendly.com/). By releasing this work under a
Creative Commons license, the Book Sprint Team hopes to disseminate it
as widely as possible, bringing this information into the hands of
people who need it most.
The book can be downloaded for free, or a printed copy may be
purchased at the book's website: http://bwmo.net/
