Data rates have reached the gigabit per second range.  Optical fibers have become the transmission medium of choice.  Standardization activities have very aggressively produced a set of  well established standard for future LANs, MANs and WANs. It has  become very difficult for computer and communications professionals to  follow these rapidly evolving technologies and standards. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eHigh Performance Networks: Technology and Protocols\u003c\/em\u003e provides a  timely technical overview of the start-of-the-art in high performance  networking. Chapters cover lightweight protocols, high performance  protocol implementation techniques, high speed MAC protocols, optical  networks, as well as emerging standards, including ATM, SMDS, B-ISDN,  SONET, FCS and HIPPI. \u003cbr\u003e  Professionals, engineers, and researchers in communications and  computers, who need to understand the underlying technologies of high  performance (gigabit) networks, will find this volume to be an  invaluable reference. The book is also suitable for use as a text for  advanced courses on the subject. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792393719\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3194-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 233.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578423500940,"sku":"9780792393719","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792393719.jpg?v=1767146868","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792393719","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
