High-Speed networks, including gigabit networks, form the focus of this exciting new text by best-selling author William Stallings. Intended for both professional and academic audiences, this book provides an up-to-date survey of developments in the design of intranets based on the Internet Protocol (IP) and the entire TCP/IP protocol suite, and ATM networks. Specifically, how the network designer tackles the issues of supporting multimedia and real-time traffic, the need to control traffic, and how to provide different levels of Quality of Service (QOS) to different applications.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
High Speed Networks: TCP/IP and ATM Design presents integrated, up-to-date coverage of key issues in high-speed TCP/IP and ATM network design. Surveys developments in high-speed networks to provide a solid grasp of technical design issues related to carrying large volumes of traffic with differing quality-of-service requirements at very high data rates. Covering basic technology as well as new traffic control standards for the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) in WANs and LANs, this book presents a range of related topics. Among these are: next-generation Internet technology; high-speed (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet; TCP performance design issues; unicast and multicast routing; and compression. Also covers self-similar traffic with an explanation of the mathematics behind it for the first time in any book. In addition, it presents math essential for understanding the issues of high-speed network performance and design. There is a web page (shore/~ws/HsNet.html) for the book. An essential reference for any professional designing or maintaining high-speed computer networks.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A serious book!!,
By Jose Miguel Guzman (Santiago, - CHILE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High-Speed Networks TCP/IP and ATM Design Principles (Hardcover)
Fortunately, this is not the typical High Speed Newtworks book. Unlike most authors, Stallings goes as deep as required. Beginning with descriptions for ATM and high speed LANs, the book explain how to modelate and estimate the actual network performance, by using statistics models. (An overview of probability and stochastic processes is included).The mechanisms for improve the network performance (as different queueing strategies), and managing network congestion are explained. Some IP related topics (routinng protocols, RSVP, Multicast)are also included. Part 7 (optional for most readers) is concerned with compression and information theory (JPEG and MPEG algorithms are explained). As you see, a serious book, not a "bubbleware" book.

BAD book,
By A Customer
This review is from: High-Speed Networks TCP/IP and ATM Design Principles (Hardcover)
if u want to study high speed networking then please dont buy this book and waste your money. there are many other books which cover the same areas in equal detail. this book will not only confuse you but it will also muddle the existing concepts that u had in mind... stallings is a good writer.. he has written good books in the past.. but this time he has not come up to the level which is expected from him.

Good mathematical analysis,
By ashish (chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High-Speed Networks TCP/IP and ATM Design Principles (Hardcover)
This is a copy from the famous book of Stallings "data and computer networks".Even the diagrams are the same, but this book does have a tremendous amoubt of numerical computations, so you can satisfy the mathematicians in you. Now that I have had a course in data communication where the other book I mentioned above was used, I understand this book. This book is definitly not to be the 1st book on datacom, definitely the 2nd. This is an extremely boring book though, it does not invite you to read it, even though it has some very interesting topics in it.
