      abstract = {The book presents a comprehensive view on Flow-Aware  Networking. It starts with a brief overview of the known  QoS architectures based on the concept of a flow. Then, the  original FAN concept is presented, along with its  variations proposed by the authors. The next chapter covers  a very valuable feature of the FAN architecture, namely its  ability to assure net neutrality. The chapters that follow  will discuss, in detail, a variety of issues making the FAN  concept implementable, including congestion control,  fairness, resilience to failures, service differentiation  and degradation. The final chapter presents the test  implementation of the FAN router, including the environment  used and performance tests. Chapters are supplemented with  problems to solve, along with their solutions. The  pedagogical character of the book is supported by a number  of illustrative examples contained in most of the chapters.  At the end of the book, a glossary of the key terms is  included, along with a comprehensive bibliography.  Flow-based traffic management is currently becoming a  mainstream. There is plenty of Quality of Service (QoS)  techniques based on flows. Software-Defined Networking with  its dominant protocol OpenFlow also follows this trend.  Flow-Aware Networking (FAN) is a promising QoS  architecture. Information on FAN can be found in various  research papers. It is, therefore highly scattered. This  book gathers practically all relevant information regarding  FAN and puts it together. Quality of Service assurance is  one of the key challenges of today's Internet. The existing  approaches to provide QoS do not meet expectations of  network operators, managers and users although numerous  efforts in this area have been reported. One of the most  promising concepts is the Flow-Aware Network (FAN). FAN can  play a key role in assuring the net neutrality, smoothly  combining interests of all the involved parties. The  authors of the proposal have been involved in FAN research  practically since its inception at the start of the 21st  century. The book reports the wide experiences the authors  accumulated in the subject area during the work on common  FAN-related projects conducted with the team of James  Roberts that proposed the original FAN concept as well as  other leading research groups in Europe and the USA. One of  the aims of the book is to accompany courses taught by the  authors.},
