| Description: |
Presents an introduction to the key concepts of metropolitan area network (MAN). This work covers topics including: introductory and background information about MANs; interworking devices, MAN topologies, and key issues; various protocols proposed for MANs; and, modeling and performance analysis of common MAN topologies. |
| Synopsis: |
The demand for communication networks has increased dramatically in the last few years, creating a need for an intermediate network that operates over a metropolitan area at comparatively high data rates with simple protocols. With some characteristics of local area networks and wide area networks, the metropolitan area network (MAN) technology reflects the best features of both. The motivations for MAN technology include o interconnection of LANs o high-speed services o integrated services. MANs can be used in the following areas: * LAN interconnection * Filetransfer * Distributed processing * Remote services * Remote login Metropolitan Area Networks provides an introduction to the key concepts of MANs in an easily understood style. Organized into five chapters, this unique book acts as an excellent reference for a beginner as well as for the veteran in the field.Topics include: * Introductory and background information about MANs * Interworking devices, MAN topologies, and key issues * Various popular protocols proposed for MANs * Modeling and performance analysis of common MAN topologies * Emerging MAN-related technologies such as BISDN, ATM networks, frame relay, cell relay, SONET, and SMDS For a broad understanding of this expanding subject, Metropolitan Area Networks serves as the singular standard in the field. |
