DESCRIPTION:
Piscitello, Core Competence Inc . "This book is something special. it's quite frankly not merely the only practicum I've encountered for network design, but it's also highly useful, and it has quickly become indispensable." —David M
Powerful, mission-critical networks that carry real-time applications, multimedia, or just heavy traffic are increasingly complex and costly to build. Practical Computer Network Analysis and Design prepares you to make the best decisions by applying sound, tested design principles to your network and considering the system-wide effects of each decision. The author provides a step-by-step process for analyzing user requirements, visualizing the network structure in terms of traffic flows, and doing quantitative measurements. Design decisions based on insufficient or flawed analysis can have drastic consequences in both efficiency and expense. * A running case study demonstrates the process in a real-world setting.* Additional case studies and numerous examples show the different stages of analysis and design.* Sample worksheets, with all entries filled, are provided for each step of the process.* Blank worksheets are available from the publisher's Web site at mkp.. Once you have a clear, scientifically based picture of you network environment, he guides you in developing
Subsequent designs for various commercial, government and academic networks led him to develop and publish the processes described in this book, which he also teaches to students at various corporations and conferences. McCabe is currently a network architect for NASA. McCabe's interest in network analysis and design dates from the late 1980s, when he first worked on designs for NASA's aerospace supercomputing networks. James D. McCabe holds a degree
Mike Tarrani said Network Design Done Right. In the vast body of knowledge dedicated to network design this book stands out as a single, shining example of how to do it right.The approach given in this book is to focus on the larger end goal, providing services via the network, instead of the lower-level technical details. This approach requires greater emphasis on requirements to which three chapters are devoted. Mr. McCabe's treatment of requirements gathering and analysis is among the best in literature and i. A Customer said Useful and practical advice for network managers. I am a network teacher that is preparing two courses: "Network engineering", which has to do with network design from a systems point of view. (ex. thinking about the network in a bigger context, including hosts, service, etc.) and "Information Flow analysis" which deaks with the how-to's of elaborating a workflow model for networks and planning networks based on information flow. I have read this book and have found that it thoroughly addresses all the areas these tw. Network Design Revealed! Michael M. Little This book is amazing. Design, of any type, is an artform. Jim McCabe is an amazing artist. He has a unique grasp of the design process. Networks are notoriously complex systems to design; so many layers, so much technology, so much interdependence. Jim has captured the essence of this non-linear design process and has distilled it quite elegantly. This is an excellent primer on design in general, on networks particularly and ATM based networks most specifically.
