COMPLETE AND COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE OF PACKET SWITCHING CONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGIES
The rapid growth of Inter traffic has spurred a new concentration on Tip 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 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 solution and algorithms are also provided. The authors also extend fundamental packet-seitching concepts to wireless and fiber-optic networks.
