Summary

This 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.

Features

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.  <%-2>End Of Chapter Pedagogy:
