He presented a practical and systematic approach that integrates network planning, research, design, and deployment, using state-of-the-art in performance analysis, cost analysis, simulation, and modeling topology. Proliferation and complexity of today's data networks challenging our ability to design and manage effectively. High-Performance Data Network Design is a "must have" for anyone seriously involved in designing data networks. Provide real insight into the entire design process Includes basic principles, practical advice, and sample designs for industrial-strength enterprise network data Integrating a topic often overlooked-backbone optimization, bottleneck analysis, simulation tools, and network costs
