Learn to Design High Performance Switches and Routers for Today's Ever Growing Internet Traffic As Internet traffic continues to grow, and demands for quality of service become more stringent, researchers and engineers can turn to High Performance Switches and Routers for tested and proven solutions. This text presents the latest developments in high performance switches and routers, coupled with step-by-step design guidance. More than 550 figures and examples enable readers to grasp all the theories and algorithms used for design and implementation. The authors begin with an examination of the architecture of the Internet, as it is now and as it will be in the future. Then, they examine router architectures and their building blocks, and the challenging issues involved in designing high performance, high-speed routers. Examples of commercial high-end routers are provided. Next, the authors discuss the main functions of the line cards of a core router, including route lookup, packet classification, and traffic management for quality of service control. The bulk of the text is then dedicated to packet switching designs. Coverage includes the various available architectures, algorithms, and technologies. Among the topics covered, readers will find detailed discussions of the latest innovations in electrical and optical packet switching. The final chapter discusses state-of-the-science commercial chipsets used to build routers. Readers learn their architecture and functions, using the theories and conceptual designs presented in the previous chapters as a foundation. Although implementation techniques for switches and routers will continue to evolve, the fundamental theories and principles of this text will serve readers for years to come. In addition to bringing researchers and engineers up to date with the latest designs, this text, with its focus on illustrations and examples, is an ideal graduate-level textbook.

Review: comprehensive, but has little on IPv6 The authors describe the current Internet and its main routing methods. From this follows the basic ideas of current switches and routers. Potential bottlenecks in scaling are explained. Like the common occurrence of bursty traffic. There is a classification scheme for switches, that can be used to understand any current switch in the marketplace. Based on switching techniques, we get time division switching and space division switching. With finer categories in each. Overall, the book's treatment appears well-nigh exhaustive. The authors strive to give comprehensive coverage of most switches and routers. The only questionable point is the scant coverage given to IPv6. It is not discussed in any detail. Perhaps this is because current methods used for IPv4 are considered adequate for v6? Buy Book at Lowest Price on Amazon
