Overview

Here's an exciting book that gives you a comprehensive understanding of the emerging and proven technologies that allow high-speed remote access to the Internet and to broadband services such as Video-on-Demand. It shows you how to design the network that provides broadband links between end-users and service providers, and the operations systems that control networks.

Synopsis

Here's an exciting book that gives you a comprehensive understanding of the emerging and proven technologies that allow high-speed remote access to the Internet and to broadband services such as Video-on-Demand. It shows you how to design the network that provides broadband links between end-users and service providers, and the operations systems that control networks.

From discussions on broadband and IP signaling to an examination of ADSL and optical transmission, this book reveals the path beyond conventional telephone and ISDN lines and guides you in planning the evolution of ATM and IP networks. It covers mature ATM, SONET/SDH and IP technologies, more recent ADSL and VB5 technology, and future optical and WDM technology as applied to ATM PONs and IP. Over 200 illustrations help to clarify key concepts.

Booknews

A look into the current theory and applications of broadband data transfer technology. After an introduction to broadband, the book is split into three themes: the first examines existing technologies, including ATM, SONET/SDH and IP technologies, the second discusses recent developments in ADSL and the VB5 interface, the third looks toward the future of optical technology, ATM, and IP, with additional thoughts on the future of communication protocols.
