Book excerpt: Why the Internet was designed to be the way it is, and how it could be different, now and in the future. How do you design an internet? The architecture of the current Internet is the product of basic design decisions made early in its history. What would an internet look like if it were designed, today, from the ground up? In this book, MIT computer scientist David Clark explains how the Internet is actually put together, what requirements it was designed to meet, and why different design decisions would create different internets. He does not take today's Internet as a given but tries to learn from it, and from alternative proposals for what an internet might be, in order to draw some general conclusions about network architecture. Clark discusses the history of the Internet, and how a range of potentially conflicting requirements—including longevity, security, availability, economic viability, management, and meeting the needs of society—shaped its character. He addresses both the technical aspects of the Internet and its broader social and economic contexts. He describes basic design approaches and explains, in terms accessible to nonspecialists, how networks are designed to carry out their functions. (An appendix offers a more technical discussion of network functions for readers who want the details.) He considers a range of alternative proposals for how to design an internet, examines in detail the key requirements a successful design must meet, and then imagines how to design a future internet from scratch. It's not that we should expect anyone to do this; but, perhaps, by conceiving a better future, we can push toward it.

Students who have taken one or two courses in networking theory will find Top-Down Network Design, Third Edition, an approachable introduction to the engineering and business issues related to developing real-world networks that solve typical business problems. Changes for the Third Edition Networks have changed in many ways since the second edition was published. Many legacy technologies have disappeared and are no longer covered in the book. In addition, modern networks have become multifaceted, providing support for numerous bandwidth-hungry applications and a variety of devices, ranging from smart phones to tablet PCs to high-end servers. Modern users expect the network to be available all the time, from any device, and to let them securely collaborate with coworkers, friends, and family. Networks today support voice, video, high-definition TV, desktop sharing, virtual meetings, online training, virtual reality, and applications that we can’t even imagine that brilliant college students are busily creating in their dorm rooms. As applications rapidly change and put more demand on networks, the need to teach a systematic approach to network design is even more important than ever. With that need in mind, the third edition has been retooled to make it an ideal textbook for college students. The third edition features review questions and design scenarios at the end of each chapter to help students learn top-down network design.

Download or read book Designing Large Scale Lans written by Kevin Dooley and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2001-11-21 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book offers a vendor-neutral approach for designing large local area networks according to business or organizational needs, rather than from a product perspective. Author and independent network design consultant Kevin Dooley outlines "top-down network design" for building a technological infrastructure to fit your organization's requirements, a process far more effective and cost-efficient than fitting the organization to the parameters of a shrink-wrapped proprietary solution.Dooley argues that the design of a network is largely independent of the products used. Whether you use a Cisco or Juniper router, the same security issues and protocols apply. The questions he addresses in this book are need-specific: Do I use a router or a switch? Should I route between switched areas or switch between routed areas?Designing Large-Scale LANs covers everything from security, bandwidth and scalability to network reliability, which includes backup, redundancy, and points of failure. Specific technologies are analyzed in detail: network topologies, routing and switching strategies, wireless, virtual LANs, firewalls and gateways, security, Internet protocols, bandwidth, and multicast services. The book also discusses proprietary technologies that are ubiquitous, such as Cisco's IOS and Novell's IPX.This complete guide to top-down network design will help you choose the right network solutions. If you're designing large scale networks and need expert advice and guidance, look no further than Designing Large-Scale LANs.

Download or read book Designing TCP IP Internetworks written by Geoff Bennett and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1995-04-11 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing TCP/IP Internetworks Geoff Bennett Disks Included Thousands of companies around the world are linking remote business sites into integrated wide area networks (WANs) — confronting network designers with questions and concepts far more complex than those posed by a single-campus LAN. Why is TCP/IP the most popular protocol for WANs today? How do you make the best use of precious bandwidth on leased WAN lines? Which LAN technologies should you install — and how will these environments interface with the WAN? What’s the difference between routers and bridges, and when is it appropriate to implement each device? And how on earth are you to get a clear definition — and consensus — about the level of service that your internetwork should provide to dozens, perhaps hundreds, of individual departments and workgroups? In Designing TCP/IP Internetworks, Geoff Bennett, a senior product manager for one of the premiere manufacturers of internetworking devices, answers all these questions and more, with a common-sense perspective and in-depth expertise. He begins with the basics of network design — and spells out the documentation network designers need to focus their efforts on and work effectively with users throughout the organization. Bennett goes on to offer a practical, fast-paced overview of the Internet, TCP/IP, and the OSI network model, the builds on this foundation to detail the many different factors that can affect internetwork performance and reliability. He also delves into the details of network management, network security, and network resilience, to ensure that the architecture you create today serves your organization in the years ahead.

Download or read book Internetworking written by Randall J. Bigelow and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis documents the planning, design and implementation of a regional wide-area network connecting K-12 schools, research institutions, libraries and institutions of higher education throughout the Monterey Bay area of California's central coast. The goal of the network is to enable students and educators to have access to the environmental information and resources available regionally via the Internet, at speeds which will encourage interaction and maintain interest. The wide-area network design process presents numerous human and technical challenges. These challenges are further amplified by the need to enable educators to design and implement school local area networks concurrent with the wide-area network solution. The processes used to resolve these myriad issues and the resulting solutions are of direct relevance to the K-12 community as well as network planners, administrators and funding partners.
