Torrent description
Modern communications networks consist of collections of network elements
connected by communications paths. Network elements and communications
paths depend on, or are developed as, three fundamental layers: (1) optical
transmission facilities, which carry information between network elements;
(2) protocol engines, which enforce the constructive discipline of communica-
tions protocols and provide many protocol supported capabilities; and (3)
switching and queuing components, which direct information to its intended
destination. Protocol engines, switching/queuing components, and optical
interfaces are used to construct network elements; network elements are then
connected by optical transmission facilities to form communications net-
works. This book provides an introduction to these building blocks and to
the networks formed by their aggregation for advanced undergraduate stu-
dents in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer
science.
