Ebook: Data Networks. Routing, Security, and Performance Optimization

"This book is essential reading for anyone involved in the design, deployment, and support of any network. The content is not just theoretical, it is based on extensive practical experience, and the writing style makes complex subjects compelling reading. Having been heavily involved with the development of a network topology design and costing tool in previous employment, it is refreshing to find a book that covers these topics and others in such depth. Not only are there excellent chapters on high availability, network optimization, and routing (many with worked examples), but here, in one book, you can find in-depth material on secure network design, and in-depth coverage of technologies such as virtual private networks."—Bob Brace, VP of Marketing, Nokia "Data Networks: Routing, Security, and Performance Optimization is the ideal companion to High-Performance Data Network Design, and the definitive reference for networking professionals. Tony Kenyon once again exerts his technical authority by presenting the key elements of networking in a clear, concise, and practical manner that demonstrates the value of good networking practice. A must for any networking professional's library."—Philip Miller, Nokia Internet Communications; author of TCP/IP Explained and LAN Technologies Explained, published by Digital Press.
