High-Speed networks, including gigabit networks, form the focus of this exciting new text by best-selling author William Stallings. Intended for both professional and academic audiences, this book provides an up-to-date survey of developments in the design of intranets based on the Internet Protocol (IP) and the entire TCP/IP protocol suite, and ATM networks. Specifically, how the network designer tackles the issues of supporting multimedia and real-time traffic, the need to control traffic, and how to provide different levels of Quality of Service (QOS) to different applications.
Are you looking for a text that provides extensive coverage of leading-edge topics in TCP/IP and ATM?
- Provides comprehensive coverage of the basic technology as well as new traffic control standards for the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) in both WANs and LANs.
- Presents thorough and integrated coverage of next- generation Internet technology, including resource reservation (RSVP), real-time and multimedia traffic (RTP), and the use of IPv6.
- Covers high-speed network design issues for networks in the gigabit range as well as those in the 10s and 100s megabit per second range. Thus, gigabit design issues permeate the book.
- Includes up-to-date treatment of high-speed (100Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet that presents the technical details of Ethernet and shows how it fits into the big picture.
- Presents comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of TCP performance design issues, including congestion control and TCP over ATM.
- Provides coverage of self-similar traffic with an explanation of the mathematics behind self-similar traffic, a demonstration of performance implications, and how to estimate performance parameters. This is the first time this topic has been covered in any text or technical reference manual on networks.
- Provides broad and detailed coverage of unicast and multicast routing, especially their use in supporting high-performance and multimedia applications.
- Provides math essential for understanding the issues related to high-speed network performance and design.
- Unique and useful support includes an Internet mailing list, on-line transparency masters, solutions manual with solutions to all of the problems in the book, and a website to provide support for instructors and students at http://www.shore.net/~ws/HsNet.html.
