High-speed Networks: TCP/IP and ATM Design PrinciplesThis book presents integrated, up-to-date coverage of the key issues in the design of high-speed TCP/IP and ATM networks and provides a comprehensive, technical look at these issues. 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 be |
