Choice Review
Used in basically all networked computer systems--from the smallest PDAs to the largest mainframes--Internet Protocol (IP) networking has become an essential mainstream feature of modern telecommunications systems. As a result, network managers must understand the principles and optimization of IP-based network operations. Miller, president of DigiNet Corporation, provides this knowledge in a comprehensive reference work. Treating the operation, optimization, and management of IP networks, the handbook has five parts: "Introduction," "Packet Transport," "Application Support," "Network and Performance Management," and "Reference Appendices." The handbook focuses on practical network management issues, infrastructures, packet transport, end user considerations, and the next-generation technology in IP, and illustrates the basic principles with interesting case studies. For network engineers and managers as well as students. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. C. Tappert Pace University
