ADSL and DSL Technologies

An exploration of the standard that the author hopes will be the "next big thing" in Internet telephony. The author traces the history of the acronym-happy industry to its humble beginnings in the days when humans did the switching to show the evolution of the technology. Along the way he covers the architecture of the public switched telephone network (PSTN), digitizing the PSTN, ISDN, packet switching, the xDSL family of technologies, and HDSL 1 and 2. The second half of the book covers ASDL, DSLAM, VDSL, international issues and xDSL, and current issues in DSL. Appends information about the online ADSL Forum.

Demystifying the operation of Intenet telephone protocols and technologies, IP Telephony, by Walter Goralski and Matthew Kolon, establishes a solid framework for Internet-powered voice communications. This quick-study reference explains the world of central office switches and signaling protocols, exploring every phase of telephony from billing to caller ID to voice routing protocols. Conversely, it explores the existing structure of the Internet and the IP protocol stack to explain the world of routers and connectionless IP. You'll find a bonanza of examples that demonstrate how organizations; local, national and global can employ Internet telephony both to save money and to provide services ranging from Internet faxing to solving a multitude of business problems. This plain-English guide lets you..*See how to make your existing data network do double duty as your phone system*Explore voice-enabled Web sites for everything from Internet telemarketing to customer support*Understand the implementation standards, SS7, H.323, RSVP, the ITU G.x series, and more*Recognize the role of Internet telephone gateways*Understand the relationship between quality of service (QOS), frame relay, and ATM network as voice vehicles*And much more

IP Telephony

Kolon, Matthew C.

This work attempts to demystify the operation of all optical networking technologies in general and DWDM in particular. It discusses when, why and how to uses optical networks and gives step-by-step guidelines for implementation. IT also covers optical networking in WAN, including optical networking with ATM, IP and SONET.

In 1994, W. Richard Stevens and Addison-Wesley published a networking classic: TCP/IP Illustrated. The model for that book was a brilliant, unfettered approach to networking concepts that has proven itself over time to be popular with readers of beginning to intermediate networking knowledge. The Illustrated Network takes this time-honored approach and modernizes it by creating not only a much larger and more complicated network, but also by incorporating all the networking advancements that have taken place since the mid-1990s, which are many. This book takes the popular Stevens approach and modernizes it, employing 2008 equipment, operating systems, and router vendors. It presents an ?illustrated? explanation of how TCP/IP works with consistent examples from a real, working network configuration that includes servers, routers, and workstations. Diagnostic traces allow the reader to follow the discussion with unprecedented clarity and precision. True to the title of the book, there are 330+ diagrams and screen shots, as well as topology diagrams and a unique repeating chapter opening diagram. Illustrations are also used as end-of-chapter questions. A complete and modern network was assembled to write this book, with all the material coming from real objects connected and running on the network, not assumptions. Presents a real world networking scenario the way the reader sees them in a device-agnostic world. Doesn't preach one platform or the other. Here are ten key differences between the two: Stevens Goralski's Older operating systems (AIX,svr4,etc.) Newer OSs (XP, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) Two routers (Cisco, Telebit (obsolete)) Two routers (M-series, J-series) Slow Ethernet and SLIP link Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and SONET/SDH links (modern) Tcpdump for traces Newer, better utility to capture traces (Ethereal, now has a new name!) No IPSec IPSec No multicast Multicast No router security discussed Firewall routers detailed No Web Full Web browser HTML consideration No IPv6 IPv6 overview Few configuration details More configuration details (ie, SSH, SSL, MPLS, ATM/FR consideration, wireless LANS, OSPF and BGP routing protocols

The Illustrated Network: How TCP/IP Works in a Modern Network, Second Edition presents an illustrated explanation on how TCP/IP works, using consistent examples from a working network configuration that includes servers, routers and workstations. Diagnostic traces allow the reader to follow the discussion with unprecedented clarity and precision. True to its title, there are 330+ diagrams and screenshots, as well as topology diagrams and a unique repeating chapter opening diagram. Illustrations are also used as end-of-chapter questions. Based on examples of a complete and modern network, all the material comes from real objects connected and running on the network. The book emphasizes the similarities across all networks, since all share similar components, from the smallest LAN to the global internet. Layered protocols are the rule, and all hosts attached to the Internet run certain core protocols to enable their applications to function properly. This second edition includes updates throughout, along with four completely new chapters that introduce developments that have occurred since the publication of the first edition, including optical networking, cloud concepts and VXLAN.
