Description: This book presents the state-of-the-art in real-world design and architecture for tomorrow's high-speed, wireless multimedia, voice, data, and video networks. Beginning with a lucid, example-rich introduction to today's leading broadband and wireless ATM network technologies, Dr. Anna Hac addresses every key issue facing the designer of advanced multimedia networks. Coverage includes architectures based on distributed control, hierarchical organization, ATM LANs, LANE, and the Intelligent Network. Hac presents new solutions for routing and congestion control in bursty, high-speed multimedia and mobile networks; today's best tracking strategies, location management schemes, and location update/routing schemes for mobile environments, and more. She demonstrates how to identify minimum cost multicast trees with bounded path delay; utilize mobile Internet host protocols; support multicasting, synchronization, Quality of Service (QoS), and more.
