Networking concepts are difficult to explain, even through careful description and well thought out examples. One useful teaching method is enabling the networking professional to visualize how networks work by using a software tool that simulates network functions. The Network Simulation Experiments Manual provides just such a tool by allowing the reader to download free, easy-to-install OPNET software. This software provides a virtual environment for modeling, analyzing, and predicting the performance of IT infrastructures, including applications, servers, and networking technologies. The book also goes a step further by providing detailed experiments on core networking topologies for use in this simulation environment. Each experiment is also accompanied by review questions, a lab report, and exercises... [more]

George Varghese
ISBN: 9780120884773
Copyright 2005
Author George Varghese begins by laying out the implementation bottlenecks that are most often encountered at four disparate levels of implementation: protocol, OS, hardware, and architecture. He then derives 15 solid principles—ranging from the commonly recognized to the groundbreaking—that are key to breaking these bottlenecks. The rest of the book is devoted to a systematic application of these principles to bottlenecks found specifically in endnodes, interconnect devices, and specialty functions such as security and measurement that can be located anywhere along the network.

Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design, 3rd Edition
James McCabe
ISBN: 9780123704801
Copyright 2007
Computer networks are now integral to every part of our lives. Connected to the Internet from morning til night, at home and at work, sitting in your study or linked wirelessly through a Starbucks 'hot spot,' computer networking design is of the utmost importance. Using a 'systems methodology' approach, McCabe views the network as part of a larger and infinitely complex system interacting with mechanisms outside of itself. The organic flow of the book from analysis to architecture to design instills the reader with the information and skill to create, upgrade, and fix networks. With examples, guidelines, and general principles Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design illuminates how a network begins as a concept, is built with addressing protocol, routing, and management, and harmonizes with the interconnected technology around it. This is an essential book for any professional that will be designing or working with a network on a routine basis... [more]

In network design, the gap between theory and practice is woefully broad. Routing, Flow, and Capacity Design in Communication and Computer Networks narrows it, comprehensively and critically examining current network design models and methods. You will learn where mathematical modeling and algorithmic optimization have been under-utilized. At the opposite extreme, you will learn where they tend to fail to contribute to the twin goals of network efficiency and cost-savings. Most of all, you will learn precisely how to tailor theoretical models to make them as useful as possible in practice... [more]
