Description
The viewpoint is that communication networking is about efficient resource sharing. The focus is on the three building blocks of communication
networking, namely, multiplexing, switching and routing. The approach is analytical, with the discussion being driven by mathematical
analyses of and solutions to specific engineering problems.
The result? A comprehensive, effectively organized treatment of core engineering
issues in communication networking. Written for both the networking professional and for the classroom, this book covers fundamental
concepts in detail and places design issues in context by drawing on real world examples from current technologies.
Audience
PROFESSIONAL REFERENCE: Networking professionals whose work is primarily architecture definition and implementation, i.e., network engineers
and designers at telecom companies, industrial research labs, etc.
ACADEMIC: Final year undergrad and first year graduate students
in EE, CE, and CS programs.
