Product Description
Product Description
This book, Routing and Switching: Time of Convergence?, aims to help users, network designers and technicians, and IT decision makers, in their proper understanding of the interconnecting possibilities of today and potential for tomorrow (which may come more quickly than we might have thought yesterday). The book provides a detailed explanation of all related principles, starting from an overview of communication networks, through the operation of Layer 2 internetworking devices — bridges and switches, the latter both in LANs and WANs — to the operation of Layer 3 devices — routers. This book devotes more time to more complex routing technologies and their application in IP and non-IP environments, such as (still present) Novell IPX/SPX, AppleTalk, (very slowly penetrating) OSI, (almost forgotten but not completely) DecNet, Banyan VINES, and (where it all started) XNS.

ROUTING AND SWITCHING
Rita Puz¢manová
Networking technologies have penetrated into almost everyone¡¦s life, both at work and at
home. Different types of underlying technologies have emerged and there is hardly any simple or single-vendor corporate network or internet. The way in which network segments are interconnected has become a challenge for network planners, not only to fulfil current business requirements, but also to allow for future extension and development.
Routing and Switching: Time of Convergence? presents a comparison of the two leadingand complementary techniques for interconnecting networks. If you are a network designer, technician or IT decision maker, this book will prove invaluable. It will give you a comprehensive knowledge of the interconnecting possibilities today and potential for the future. Starting from the lowest layers upwards, you will gain knowledge of network interconnections (using bridges, switches, routers or gateways) and will finally reach the advanced stages, giving you a full understanding of the most imminent issues of today¡¦s networks, such as QoL, MPLS and optical switching.
This book contains:
Up-to-date overview of interconnecting technologies
Technology guidelines for network designers
Exploration as to how far the integration of routing and switching will reach
Detailed technical background of all routing, switching (LAN and WAN) and bridging aspects
TCP/IP orientation with a glance at other architectures, including Novell NetWare, OSI and DECnet
Discussion on advanced aspects of QoS support (DiffServ, IntServ) and operations of label switching (MPLS), and recent developments in optical switching.
