Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume is designed to develop an understanding of data networks and evolving integrated networks, and to explore evolving integrated networks and the various analysis and design tools. It begins with an overview of the principles behind data networks, then develops an understanding of the modelling issues and mathematical analysis needed to compare the effectiveness of different networks. This revision of a bestselling reference by world-renowned authors provides balanced coverage of the principles behind data networks and the modeling issues and analysis used to compare the effectiveness of different networks. Fully updated, this edition reflects such developing technology as high speed optical fibre networks, and explores various analysis and design tools. The authors specifically cover - error detection and retransmission techniques, frame delineation and addressing, and transport protocols, allocating network resources among many other topics. Figures and problems enhance basic descriptions and clarify advanced mathematical analyses.
