Converged Network Architectures

Delivering Voice Over Ip, Atm, and Frame Relay

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Converged networking integrates voice, video, and data traffic on a single network, leading to reduced costs, support for highly-integrated applications, and the need for greater network flexibility and functionality. This book covers all the major network architectures and the latest enabling protocols, including voice communication networks, data networks, voice packet processing, coding for broadband systems, voice over packet networks, and much more.Konvergente Netzwerke ermöglichen die Integration von Sprach-, Video- und Datentransport auf einem einzigen Netzwerk. Die Vorteile liegen klar auf der Hand: Kostensenkung, Unterstützung von ausgefeilten, integrierten Anwendungen sowie größere Netzwerkflexibilität und -funktionalität. Dieses Buch schließt eine Lücke in der aktuellen Literatur zum Thema Konvergenz. Es behandelt alle wichtigen Netzwerkarchitekturen und die neuesten Enabling Protocols, wie SIP, H.323, MPLS und H.248 - um nur einige zu nennen. "Converged Network Architectures" gibt Netzwerkdesignern und -managern einen kompletten Überblick über die benötigten Strukturen und Komponenten. Darüber hinaus hilft der Band, Netzwerkarchitekturen und Protokolle wie SONET, Frame Relay, ATM und IP besser zu verstehen. "Converged Network Architectures" - Hier lernen Sie, mit konvergenten Netzen ein Maximum an Service zu einem Minimum an Kosten zu schaffen. Eine nützliche Lektüre für die Praxis!
