To be competitive, service providers cannot customize every installation but must simultaneously offer services that meet a wide range of perceived customer needs. This guide shows commercial service providers and equipment vendors how to build competitive service offerings for enterprise-specific needs.

In general, the book is organized into three main parts. Chapters 1 through 5 deal with defining customer requirements and the abstract provider architecture. Chapters 6 through 8 deal with building and extending carrier facilities and transmission systems. Chapters 9 through 13 deal with the intelligent communications systems overlaid onto the physical structures, which to varying extents involve Internet Protocol (IP)–based control planes, and possibly IP forwarding.

This book focuses on the service provider network, and ideally will be read in concern with the more customer-oriented WAN Survival Guide. It is not aimed at protocol implementers, although it does present alternatives between techniques in development. If a reader finishes the book and is disappointed that he or she did not become utterly familiar with bit-level techniques, I have succeeded in my goals! There are many excellent sources for dealing with protocol mechanics, but a shortage of sources for pinning down problems and selecting solutions.

WiMAX Broadband Wireless Access Technology, based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, is at the origin of great promises for many different markets covering fixed wireless Internet Access, Backhauling and Mobile cellular networks. WiMAX technology is designed for the transmission of multimedia services (voice, Internet, email, games and others) at high data rates (of the order of Mb/s per user). It is a very powerful but sometimes complicated technique.
The WiMAX System is described in thousands of pages of IEEE 802.16 standard and amendments documents and WiMAX Forum documents. WiMAX: Technology for Broadband Wireless Access provides a global picture of WiMAX and a large number of details that makes access to WiMAX documents much easier. All the aspects of WIMAX are covered.

Today, computer games are sold to an increasingly significant market whose annual revenues already exceed that of the Hollywood movie industry. Multi-player games are making greater use of the Internet and the driving demand for ‘better than dial-up’ access services in the consumer space. Yet many networking engineers are unfamiliar with the games that utilise their networks, as game designers are often unsure of how the Internet really behaves.

Regardless of whether you are a network engineer, technical expert, game developer, or student with interests across these fields, this book will be a valuable addition to your library. We bring together knowledge and insights into the ways multi-party/multi-player games utilise the Internet and influence traffic patterns on the Internet. Multi-player games impose loads on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) quite unlike the loads generated by email, web surfing or streaming content.

People’s demand for realistic interactivity creates somewhat unique demands at the network level for highly reliable and timely exchange of data across the Internet – something the Internet rarely offers because of its origins as a ‘best effort’ service. Game designers have developed fascinating techniques to maintain a game’s illusion of shared experiences even when the underlying network is losing data and generally misbehaving.

Written by networking veteran with 20 years of experience, Network Warrior provides a thorough and practical introduction to the entire network infrastructure, from cabling to the routers. What you need to learn to pass a Cisco certification exam such as CCNA and what you need to know to survive in the real world are two very different things. The strategies that this book offers weren 't on the exam, but they 're exactly what you need to do your job well.

Network Warrior takes you step by step through the world of hubs, switches, firewalls, and more, including ways to troubleshoot a congested network, and when to upgrade and why. Along the way, you 'll gain an historical perspective of various networking features, such as the way Ethernet evolved. Based on the author 's own experience as well as those he worked for and with, Network Warrior is a Cisco-centric book, focused primarily on the TCP/IP protocol and Ethernet networks -- the realm that Cisco Systems now dominates.
