Never has the need for reliable inteetworking been greater, yet
with networks now comprising differing operating systems, hardware,
and software, achieving a reliable network has never been more
complex. Network planners and managers face a multitude of
difficult decisions-decisions made even more difficult by the need
for knowledge from a variety of disciplines. To meet that need,
renowned author Gilbert Held assembled a panel of expert
practitioners to bring you Network Design: Principles and
Applications-a comprehensive, single-source reference for network
and IT managers. Beginning with the basics of LANs and WANs, it
offers in-depth coverage of mode network planning, design, and
optimization. Virtual Private Networks, intranets, and extranets
all receive detailed treatment, as do traffic analysis and
performance, migration issues, tools, techniques, and network
security. Finally, the future of your network and perhaps your job
may depend on your knowledge of still evolving network
technologies. Network Design: Principles and Applications provides
that knowledge with chapters addressing current trends, including
IDSL, cable modems, voice and video over LANs, and voice and fax
over IP.Network Design: Principles and Applications is one
reference that belongs on the shelf of every network and IT
manager. The planning and implementation strategies presented will
help you create flexible networks that meet performance goals but
at the same time allow for the leveraging of new and maturing
technologies.
