Abstract

From the Publisher:For years, networking professionals, designers, and engineers have depended on William Stallings' High Speed Networks and Internets for the understanding they need to build leading-edge products and services. Now, Stallings has thoroughly updated his classic to reflect the newest technologies, trends, and standards. This edition's extensive new coverage includes a comprehensive review of approaches to Quality of Service, as well as in-depth discussions of network design for high-speed TCP/IP and ATM networks.Stallings systematically addresses the issues associated with carrying large volumes of traffic with diverse QoS requirements over networks operating at exceptionally high data rates. He covers a wide range of design issues related to high-speed networks, including congestion control, unicast and multicast routing, multimedia compression and wavelets, and much more. This edition includes a completely new QoS section covering Differentiated Services, Multiprotocol Label Switching, Resource Reservation Protocol, and more. The book also includes thorough coverage of high-speed networking technologies such as frame relay, ATM, and Gigabit Ethhernet; network performance modeling and estimation; traffic management; Internet routing; and more.For all developers, systems engineers, network designers, students, and others involved in designing data communications and networking products or services.
