Broadband Packet Switching Technologies

Market_Desc: Practicing hardware and software engineers in the telecommunications industry. Graduate students of electrical and computer engineering. Special Features: The most comprehensive book available on broadband packet switching architectures." Interweaves fundamental concepts with real-world applications." Includes engineering case studies from wireless and fiber-optic communications. About The Book: At a time when ever-increasing amounts of data are being distributed on communication networks, the design of high-speed, reliable switching systems is of central importance. This book provides systematic coverage of all the main packet-switching architectures, and describes both theoretical and practical topics in detail. The author team has broad industrial and academic experience and is ideally placed to cover these topics. The book can be used as a textbook for graduate-level courses but is also aimed at engineers involved in the design or administration of high-speed networks. It is the most practically-oriented book on the subject and will be an excellent addition to Wiley's strong list in telecommunications.

This book defines and evaluates packet switching and reviews its implementation and applications. the information provided will help you to understand the technology and to better judge important parameters that will influence future industry decisions. It presents thought-provoking and even controversial viewpoints about the future role and alternative migration paths for packet switching in ISDN.

The effective design of high-speed, reliable switching systems is essential for moving the huge volumes of traffic and multimedia over modern communications networks. This book explains all the main packet-switching architectures, including all theoretical and practical topics relevant to the design and management of high-speed networks. Delivering the most systematic coverage available of the subject, the authors interweave fundamental concepts with real-world applications and include engineering case studies from wireless and fiber-optic communications. Market: Hardware and Software Engineers in the telecommunication industry, System Engineers, and Technicians.

The rapid development of optical fiber transmission technology has created the possibility for constructing digital networks that are as ubiquitous as the current voice network but which can carry video, voice, and data in massive qlJantities. How and when such networks will evolve, who will pay for them, and what new applications will use them is anyone's guess. There appears to be no doubt, however, that the trend in telecommunication networks is toward far greater transmission speeds and toward greater heterogeneity in the requirements of different applications. This book treats some of the central problems involved in these networks of the future. First, how does one switch data at speeds orders of magnitude faster than that of existing networks? This problem has roots in both classical switching for telephony and in switching for packet networks. There are a number of new twists here, however. The first is that the high speeds necessitate the use of highly parallel processing and place a high premium on computational simplicity. The second is that the required data speeds and allowable delays of different applications differ by many orders of magnitude. The third is that it might be desirable to support both point to point applications and also applications involving broadcast from one source to a large set of destinations.

As Internet traffic continues to grow exponentially, there is a great need to build Internet protocol (IP) routers with high-speed and high-capacity packet networking capabilities. The first book to explore this subject, Packet Forwarding Technologies explains in depth packet forwarding concepts and implementation technologies. It covers the
