This book narrows it, comprehensively and critically examining current network design models and methods. Most of all, you will learn exactly how to tailor the theoretical models to make them useful as possible in practice. Throughout, the authors focus on the traffic demands encountered in the real world network design. For experienced professionals, providing rapid solutions and a strong foundation for further progress in the use of mathematical models for network design. Written by leading researchers with 40 years combined experience of industry and academic network design. Features Consider the development of design models for different technologies, including TCP / IP, IDN, MPLS, ATM, SONET / SDH, and WDM Discussing topics such as the recent shortest path routing and bandwidth assignment fair in IP / MPLS network Correct address multi-layer model across different network layers using technology-for example, IP over ATM over SONET, IP over WDM, and SONET IDN more. Covers restoration-oriented design method that allows recovery from the failure of a large transportation network and node capacity transit. Presents, at the end of each chapter, exercises useful for students and practitioners.
