Please report errors by sending me email at skeshav@cs.cornell.edu. When reporting an error, I would appreciate it if you could tell me your name, the page, paragraph and line number of the error, and whether the error is syntactic, grammatical, factual, or logical. This will let me locate and correct the error. I will acknowledge everyone who reports an error on this page and also in future printings of the book.
Some of these errors have been fixed in the second and third printings, so you may not find them if you purchased your copy after September 1997, and after February 1998, respectively.
My affiliation should read: AT&T Labs - Research.
The first paragraph of the acknowledgements section got dropped out. It should read:
"My sincere thanks to my management at AT&T Bell Laboratories and AT&T Labs,
in particular, Sandy Fraser, Chuck Kalmanek, Brian Kernighan, Ravi Sethi, Peter
Weinberger, and Mihalis Yannakakais for allowing me to work on the book full time for over
a year. I could not have undertaken this project without their generous support."
Page 7: 6th paragraph: First line should read-"In Chapter 14, we study the problem of achieving end-to-end quality of serviceby managing traffic at multiple time scales." Reported by: Jose Landivar, University of Buffalo.
Page 50: Figure 4.2: Typo: In the caption for the figure, 'link S1-H2' should read 'link S1-S2'. Reported by: Suresh Rai, Lousiana State University.
Page 53: Line 8: Line should read-"When a switch sees a packet on this VCI, it holds it in a special buffer, awaiting further instructions from the switch controller." Reported by: Laurent Mathy, Lancaster University.
Page 54: Line 18: Line should read-"For example, a schedule that serves three cells from H1, then one from H3 guarantees a fourth of the link bandwidth to H3." Reported by: Laurent Mathy, Lancaster University.

Page 126: Example 7.1: The second part of the
problem asks how many calls a system of square cells with no two adjacent cells sharing an
edge can support. The solution then states that 5 sets of channels are required. However,
with those requirements, only 2 sets of cells are required, arranged in a checkerboard
pattern. This also impacts the description of EAMPS (p.132, paragraph 4) which references
this example to give an explanation for why there are 7 sets of channels in the EAMPS
system. For such a hexagonal tiling, only three sets of channels are necessary, arranged
in the obvious way.
The real answer is that, given a particular tiling of the plane, one has to take into account inteference from all the other cells in the plane in order to correctly compute the reuse factor. It turns out that for the EAMPS analog system, with a signal to noise ratio spec of 18dB, a hexagonal tiling requires 7 sets of frequencies. The number 7, however, is fortuitous, rather than arising from a simple geometric relationship, as I had mistakenly thought. Reported by:James Hewitt, University of Washington, Seattle.
Page 138: First paragraph: The reduction due to p-persistance with p=0.25 should be from 100% to 33.33%, not to 25% (because after both defer, they may collide again; summing this to infinity, we get correct reduction in collision probability) Reported by:David Sacerdote, Cornell.
