Product Description
Product Description
High-Speed networks, including gigabit networks, form the focus of this exciting new text by best-selling author William Stallings. Intended for both professional and academic audiences, this book provides an up-to-date survey of developments in the design of intranets based on the Internet Protocol (IP) and the entire TCP/IP protocol suite, and ATM networks. Specifically, how the network designer tackles the issues of supporting multimedia and real-time traffic, the need to control traffic, and how to provide different levels of Quality of Service (QOS) to different applications.

A serious book!!
5 Feb 2001
Format:Hardcover
Fortunately, this is not the typical High Speed Newtworks book. Unlike most authors, Stallings goes as deep as required. Beginning with descriptions for ATM and high speed LANs, the book explain how to modelate and estimate the actual network performance, by using statistics models. (An overview of probability and stochastic processes is included).
The mechanisms for improve the network performance (as different queueing strategies), and managing network congestion are explained.
Some IP related topics (routinng protocols, RSVP, Multicast)are also included.
Part 7 (optional for most readers) is concerned with compression and information theory (JPEG and MPEG algorithms are explained).
As you see, a serious book, not a "bubbleware" book.

BAD book
30 April 2001
Format:Hardcover
if u want to study high speed networking then please dont buy this book and waste your money. there are many other books which cover the same areas in equal detail. this book will not only confuse you but it will also muddle the existing concepts that u had in mind... stallings is a good writer.. he has written good books in the past.. but this time he has not come up to the level which is expected from him.

Good mathematical analysis
11 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
This is a copy from the famous book of Stallings "data and computer networks".
Even the diagrams are the same, but this book does have a tremendous amoubt of numerical computations, so you can satisfy the mathematicians in you. Now that I have had a course in data communication where the other book I mentioned above was used, I understand this book.
This book is definitly not to be the 1st book on datacom, definitely the 2nd. This is an extremely boring book though, it does not invite you to read it, even though it has some very interesting topics in it.
