Ethernet Passive Optical Networks

riple — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 05:10:14 +0000

Until today, the most widely deployed broadband solutions are cable modem and digital subscriber line, but these solutions have a bandwidth limit to carry services such interactive gaming or video on demand. PONs (Passive Optical Networks) have been considered as a new solutions for access networks technology. There are several standardization for PON based access such ATM based PON (APON and BPON), gigabit capable PON (GPON), and Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON).

This book will cover Ethernet Passive Optical Networks, standardization by IEEE 802.3ah. This is the definitive guide to EPON, where this book will explain the EPON architecture, addressing efficiency, implementations issues and analyze performance. This book will give us overview of access networks and PON, enabling technologies, point to point emulation, multipoint control, QoS in EPON and many technologies related to EPON. The reader of this book should be network access engineer or convergence network architect, even telecommunications professional who like to gain understanding of cutting edge technology.

Traffic Engineering with MPLS

riple — Tue, 25 May 2010 11:20:10 +0000

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has been getting more attention in the transmission network. It has been successfully use in a number of networks to offer both Internet and VPN (Virtual Private Network). But substantively we can do more with MPLS such TE (Traffic Engineering). So after knowing MPLS Design and Implementation, we need to figure out MPLS traffic engineering with this book. This book cover advance MPLS topic, so the reader should be network engineer whose job is to configure, manage, and troubleshoot a network. Another reader should be networks architect who design networks to carry many types of traffic such voice and data. We might already be using MPLS Traffic Engineering in our network, but before read this book we suggest that we familiar with how an MPLS packet is forwarded through a network and the three basic label operation such push, pop and swap. The goal of this book is real world usage of MPLS Traffic Engineering such design, configure, troubleshoot and manage MPLS Traffic Engineering.

Advanced MPLS Design and Implementation

riple — Tue, 18 May 2010 00:52:19 +0000

MPLS is an improved method such as ATM that they contained in the VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) for forwarding packets through network using information contained in labels inserted to IP packets. This book begins with a short overview of MPLS, namely to allow routers, why it was invented, no route lookup, and ATM switches to do forwarding based on the contents of label. This book very useful for networks engineers and managers who interested in the performance modeling of MPLS networks. After reading MPLS fundamental, we will move to advanced MPLS design and implementation with this book. The goals of this books is to enables the readers to understand MPLS architecture and operation, design and implement packet or ATM based MPLS Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) using label switching routers or WAN switched ATM LSRs (Label Switching Routers). The reader should be implement MPLS traffic engineering and MPLS QoS on core network. this book contains full of MPLS theory, configuration, design, and various case studies as reference and guide for design, implementing, and supporting an MPLS network.

riple — Tue, 11 May 2010 02:01:57 +0000

Wireless communication has become necessary thing in a telecommunication system, not only for whom study or work in telecommunication industry but also in electronic consumer and many field in our daily live. Communication system like cellular phone, wireless local area networks, radio broadcasting, and television broadcasting make us of one of two technologies that are known as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and code division multiple access (CDMA). This book starts from the basic of digital transmission theory with overview of the idea of these technologies, analyzed and presented in details. As we know OFDM and CDMA are widely applied in practice, and with this book we will find system design and implementation aspect and to the presentation of existing communication systems. Cover theory and applications of OFDM and CDMA make this book as an ideal foundation textbook who want to enter the field of wideband communications such students, researcher, and telecommunication engineer.
