Network Design for IP Convergence

Emerging Internet Quality of Service mechanisms are leading to widespread use of real time multimedia services; however, this requires drastically improved technology and standards. To assist designers and operators, this work provides a comprehensive guide to the state of the field and emerging advances. It includes an introduction to LAN/MAN/WAN network design detailing the latest network architecture and equipment. It describes routing baseline architecture for inter-networking protocols. It also covers IP protocols and interconnections between different level 1 technologies and between different level 2 technologies with IP routing. Finally, it details service connections, providing designs and configurations.
