Abstract

From the Publisher:An updated,lower-priced paperback Signature Edition of the best-selling book that brought together N in one convenient resource N the many technologies that increase network capacity. Network pros can continue to rely on Kumar for in-depth coverage of the standards,services,and markets for DSL,ATM,Intelligent Networks,BISDN,and SONET. The Signature Edition also covers access architecture (FTTC,HFC,DBS,LMDS,MMDS); backbone architecture; ATM environment encompassing UNI and PNNI; specialized video (DBS) and wireless networks; CATV architecture; and the role of the Internet in the broadband environment. The complete reference to the exploding area of broadband communications. Broadband communications standards. . . services. . . architectures. . . markets. . . cutting-edge innovations. You'll discover everything there is to know about the subject in this definitive resource. Widely praised for completeness and clarity,it has now been expanded to keep you ahead of the curve on the latest developments and revolutionary technologies: access technologies,such as ADSL,HDSL,and X-DLS,Cable Modems,LMDS,MMDS,and Gigabit Ethernet - the missing pieces of end-to-end broadband communication,now included in this edition. Access architecture,including the various public access network options such as FTTC,HFC,DBS,and wireless that take advantage of the new access technologies Broadband Intelligent Network (IN),including potential ATM-based broadband IN architecture and its migration options to support broadband services Current and future ATM issues,addressing trends that affect LANs and WANs,as well as the next-generation photonic architectures suchas photonic switching and WDM Implication of the Internet and its role in enabling broadband are covered. You'll also find in-depth information on all available broadband communications - FDDI,DQDB,frame relay,SMDS,ATM,SONET,access technologies,and the BISDN architecture protocol layers - and data that helps you compare the strengths and weaknesses of each in real-world usage.
