Reader Reviews
The authors describe the current Internet and its main routing methods. From this follows the basic ideas of current switches and routers. Potential bottlenecks in scaling are explained. Like the common occurrence of bursty traffic. There is a classification scheme for switches, that can be used to understand any current switch in the marketplace. Based on switching techniques, we get time division switching and space division switching. With finer categories in each. Overall, the book's treatment appears well-nigh exhaustive. The authors strive to give comprehensive coverage of most switches and routers. The only questionable point is the scant coverage given to IPv6. It is not discussed in any detail. Perhaps this is because current methods used for IPv4 are considered adequate for v6?
