DESCRIPTION:
"A Must have for anyone involved in high speed networking" according to A Customer. This is the Gigabit networking bible that finds its way into so many bibliographies. A must have for anyone lookingat High speed networking (DQDB, SMDS, broadband ISDN, ATM) Craig Partridge is one of the most respected authors in the high bandwidth networking arena.. excellent reference book A Customer I have bought the book some years ago and it is still very good reference book for me now.
In addition to the current status of the technology, Gigabit Networking looks ahead to the ongoing research that will shape the future of gigabit networking. A practical look at high-speed networking, including detailed coverage of fiber optics, cell and non-cell networking, and integrating gigabit networking into existing systems.
The telephone companies refer to their version of gigabit network as Broadband Networking, or B-ISDN. There has been considerable research done on this technology and the implementations are starting to emerge from many companies, such as AT&T. This technology opens up the possibility of new computer applications like distributed multimedia conferencing (voice, video and graphics). This work details how to implement a gigabit system; outlines the challenges that existing systems have faced; and explains the current status of standardization by IEEE, CCITT and other standards bodies.. Gigabit networking has the capability to move data up to 100 times faster than existing networks can handle. One of the main challenges in networking today is speeding up the rate of data transmissions, an issue of increasing importance as the dependence on computer communications like e-mail and file transfer continues to grow
