About this title

Synopsis

Powerful, mission-critical networks that carry real-time applications, multimedia, or just heavy traffic are increasingly complex and costly to build. Design decisions based on insufficient or flawed analysis can have drastic consequences in both efficiency and expense. Practical Computer Network Analysis and Design prepares you to make the best decisions by applying sound, tested design principles to your network and considering the system-wide effects of each decision. The author provides a step-by-step process for analyzing user requirements, visualizing the network structure in terms of traffic flows, and doing quantitative measurements. Once you have a clear, scientifically based picture of you network environment, he guides you in developing strategies for routing, addressing, security, and network management and then in choosing and integrating technologies to realize your plan.Whether you are expanding an existing network or building a new one from the ground up, Practical Computer Network Analysis and Design is you most valuable resource.

* A running case study demonstrates the process in a real-world setting.* Additional case studies and numerous examples show the different stages of analysis and design.* Sample worksheets, with all entries filled, are provided for each step of the process.* Blank worksheets are available from the publisher's Web site at www.mkp.com.

About the Author

James D. McCabe is currently a network architect for NASA. McCabe's interest in network analysis and design dates from the late 1980s, when he first worked on designs for NASA's aerospace supercomputing networks. Subsequent designs for various commercial, government and academic networks led him to develop and publish the processes described in this book, which he also teaches to students at various corporations and conferences. McCabe holds a degree in chemical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
