Designing High-Availability Networks

A Comprehensive, Thorough Introduction to High-Speed Networking
Technologies and Protocols

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, and new technologies being deployed in the marketplace,
such as Metro Wave Division Multiplexing (MWDM), Resilient Packet
Rings (RPR), Optical Ethernet, and more.

Divided into five succinct parts, the book covers:

* Optical transmission

* Networking protocols

* VLSI 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.
