Authoritative introduction to the role of switching and transmission in an integrated service broadband network Principles of Broadband Switching and Network describes the design and analysis of the broadband network switch architecture that is suitable for integrated services, emphasizing the interconnection of packet-switched network with distributed routing algorithm. After explaining the concept of an integrated broadband network of modern service and why it is necessary in today's society, the book moves to switch the basic design principles, discuss the two types of switch circuit design? Space domain and time domain? And packet switch design. Throughput improvement is illustrated by several variations of the switch design such as the principle of speedup, Channel-grouping principle, the principle of Knockout, and the principle of widening. Move seamlessly into the principles of advanced switch design, the book includes scalable switches, switch designs for multicasting, and the switching path.
