Scope

       Scalability has always been an important issue in communication
architectures.  Network equipment vendors as well as service providers
face  the scalability challenge on a day-to-day basis. The former need
to  design  systems, which are scalable at the application level to be
provisioned   by   the  latter  in  service.  For  a  network  system,
scalability  is  dependent  on  the hardware architecture, application
software  architecture, underlying operating system, size of the data,
and  its communication protocols. Due to the heterogeneity of not only
network   equipment   and  network-based  services  but  also  service
providers themselves, the scalability challenges have become even more
critical.  In  those  cases,  where  the  Internet has become the main
communications  infrastructure,  the  scalability  issues  are further
aggravated.  Large networks such as the Internet have some fundamental
scalable  limitations  when  it  comes  to managing individual traffic
flows.  While  Internet  protocols  such  as  RSVP  are believed to be
non-scalable,  the  scalability of IntServ, and DiffServ has yet to be
exploited.
       This  special  issue  of  IEEE Communications Magazine seeks to
present  a  series of state-of-the-art papers on scalability issues in
IP  communication  networks.  In  particular,  we  are  interested  in
tutorial and survey articles on, but not limited to, the following set
of topics:
  * Scalability in Switching Systems
  * Scalability in Communications Services
  * Scalable Network Architectures
  * Network Protocols and Scalability
  * Scalable Signaling Architectures
  * Admission Control & Scalability
  * QoS and Scalability
  * Scalability in Wireless Networks
  * Scalability issues in Routing
  * Scalability of Network and Service Provisioning
  * Scalability of Service Assurance
  * Scalability of Network Management
  * Scalability in Optical Networks
