A Comprehensive and Thorough Introduction to High-Speed Networking Technologies and Protocols.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90046) has announced the addition of "Network Infrastructure and Architecture: Designing High-Availability Networks" to their offering "Network Infrastructure and Architecture: Designing High-Availability Networks" takes a unique approach to the subject by covering the ideas underlying networks, the architecture of the network elements, and the implementation of these elements in optical and VLSI technologies. Additionally, it focuses on areas not widely covered in existing books: physical transport and switching, the process and technique of building networking hardware Networking hardware typically refers to equipment facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, this includes routers, switches, access points, network interface cards and other related hardware. , and new technologies being deployed in the marketplace, such as Metro Wave Division Multiplexing (spelling) wave division multiplexing - A common misnomer for wavelength division multiplexing. (MWDM), Resilient Packet Rings (RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) A packet-based protocol that provides fault tolerance and statistical multiplexing for the metropolitan and national SONET and Ethernet networks of the carriers. ), Optical Ethernet, and more. Divided into five succinct parts, the book covers: * Optical transmission * Networking protocols * VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit. (1) (Very Large Scale Integration) Between 100,000 and one million transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, LSI and ULSI. (2) (VLSI Technology, Inc., Tempe, AZ, www.semiconductors. chips * Data switching * Networking elements and design Complete with case studies, examples, and exercises throughout, the book is complemented with chapter goals, summaries, and lists of key points to aid readers in grasping the material presented. Network Infrastructure and Architecture offers professionals, advanced undergraduates, and graduate students a fresh view on high-speed networking from the physical layer perspective. Key Topics: * Introduction to Networking * Filer-Optic Transmission * Wavelength-Division Multiplexing In fibre-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes multiple optical carrier signals on a single optical fibre by using different wavelengths (colours) of laser light to carry different signals. * SONET * TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. Protocol Suite * Protocol Stacks * VLSI Integrated Circuits * Circuits for Optical-to-Electrical Conversion * Physical Circuit Switching * Time-Division-Multipleured Switching * Packet and Cell Switching and Queuing * Network Elements * Network Design: Efficient, Survivable sur·viv·a·ble adj. 1. Capable of surviving: survivable organisms in a hostile environment. 2. That can be survived: a survivable, but very serious, illness.
