BROADBAND DECISION SUPPORTOne thing at least is certain about tomorrow's global communications: broadband networks will be packetized. But how exactly will we get there from here? Before all the i's get dotted and t's crossed, leaders in telecom and networking have to make some hard choices. "This is the book that can give you all the context you need to put technologies in perspective and make well-informed choices.Attn. TELECOM AND NETWORK DECISION-MAKERS: If you want to skip the fluff, and get right down to solid information you can use to make your network future-ready, Dr. Haojin Wang has assembled the relevant details on enabling technologies in one easy-to-navigate resource. In "Packet Broadband Netswork Handbook, this leader in broadband communications invites you to--* Understand the latest in packet broadband access technologies including passive optical networks (PONs), wireless LANs, wireless personal area networks (WPANs), free space optics, packet cable networks, andpacket over satellite * Gain critical insight into the latest technology trends in packet transport networks such as optical Ethernet * Cull useful technical details on the emerging packet network infrastructure: MPLS, QoS, COPS, GMPLS, and more * Learn the ins and outs of packet broadband services like VPNs, storage area networks (SANs) and VoIP * Compare packet technologies, methods, and capabilities side-by-side ""A valuable reference that ably brings together the many diverse underlying technologies, network architectures, and protocols." -- Jim Kurose, Author of "Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach""Written in a very user friendly style ... I much like thereal-product examples, depth and breadth of this book." -- Wei Zhao, Assoc. VP for Research, Texas A&M University The first handbook of packet broadband, up to date and surprisingly comprehensive, will quickly become the first p
