A guide to wide-area data network performance engineering. It discusses the skills needed to design a router network carrying a variety of traffic, including Internet and intranet, over frame relay devices. It covers routers, protocols including TCP/IP, SNA and Novell, protocol behaviour over a WAN, applications, performance engineering, network management and maintenance, and more. The text offers itself as a resource to keep on hand while operating, maintaining, upgrading, or migrating existing networks. It helps the reader to make difficult decisions involving hardware, software, frame relay and private lines, ATM, and application benchmarking to test new applications on the WAN.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Extremely useful for analysing networks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wide-Area Data Network Performance Engineering (Hardcover)
This was an extremely useful book for study of data networks.....it goes right from the basics of laying the foundation for performance engineering multiprotocol networks. The techniques and principles mentioned in the book are generic and applicable to different types of applications in general. The book also discusses the issues specific to various protocols in detail in large networks and provides a simple way to analyze its performance. Finally the case studies present common situations occurring in networks which is really helpful for analyzing things from a practical point of view.
