Description
The new version (0.91) of Delite is now available for downloading.
As the cost of building and upgrading complex,
large-scale networks skyrockets, carefully crafted network designs become critical- a savings of as little as 5% in your network can
amount to tens of thousands of dollars per month. Wide Area Network Design: Concepts and Tools for Optimization provides the
information you need to tackle the challenges of designing a network that meets your performance goals within the cost constraints of
your organization. If you are considering public service alternatives such as frame relay, designing your own network with the tools
provided in this book will empower you to estimate cost savings and evaluate bids from competing carriers.
Intended for network designers,
planners, and architects, this book enables you to estimate traffic flows and requirements in your network and explains how to use various
algorithms to design a network which must meets these requirements. The accompanying design tool, Delite, offers you the opportunity
for hands-on experience with the design process.
