A thorough knowledge of modern connection-oriented networks isessential to understanding the current and near-future state ofnetworking.
This book provides a complete overview of connection-orientednetworks, discussing both packet-switched and circuit-switchednetworks, which, though seemingly different, share commonnetworking principles. It details the history and development ofsuch networks, and defines their terminology and architecture,before progressing to aspects such as signaling and standards.There is inclusive coverage of SONET/SDH, ATM networks,Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), optical networks, accessnetworks and voice over ATM and MPLS.
Connection-oriented Networks:
* Provides in-depth, systematic coverage of severalconnection-oriented networks in a single volume
* Explains topics such as the Generic Framing Procedure, LabelDistribution Protocols, Wavelength Routing Optical Networks,Optical Burst Switching, and Access Networks in detail
* Illustrates all concepts with problems and simulation projects totest and deepen your understanding
* Includes an accompanying website with solutions manual andcomplete set of PowerPoint presentations for each chapter
Senior undergraduate and graduate students in telecommunication andnetworking courses, as well as networking engineers, will find thiscomprehensive guide to connection-oriented packet-switched andcircuit-switched networks useful for their training. The bookpresents tried and tested material based on an existing, successfulcourse.
