Complete and comprehensive coverage of packet switching concepts and technologies
The rapid growth of Internet traffic has spurred a new concentration on IP routers and ATM,
MPLS, and optical switches. This book addresses the basics, theory, architectures, and
technologies for implementing ATM switches and IP routers. It focuses on the architecture for
the next generation of broadband switches and routers and provides detailed treatment of both
theoretical and practical topics for professionals and students alike.
Broadband Packet Switching Technologies is written with engineers and industry researchers in
mind. It describes the basic concepts and fundamentals of ATM switches and IP routers, then
divides the switches into different categories. In each category, the authors discuss the
operations, problems, strengths, and weaknesses of the switches in performance and
implementation. Detailed solutions and algorithms are also provided. The authors also extend
fundamental packet-switching concepts to wireless and fiber-optic networks.
Broadband Packet Switching Technologies fills the need for a textbook and reference dedicated to
high-speed networking technologies that serves the specific needs of professionals in the
telecommunications industry and provides expert material for students in related fields.
