Internet traffic is increasing by at least 200% per year and the world’s largest Internet Service Provider expects traffic on its regional trunks to grow to a 1-10 petabit range over the next four to five years. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), long-haul fiber-optic links and high-capacity all-optical circuit switches are now being used in the Internet core to handle this traffic, creating demand for the high-performance packet switches (IP routers, ATM switches, and Ethernet Switches) which feed this optical core.In the last ten years, tremendous technological advances have taken place to meet these objectives. This is the first book to cover these advances in a comprehensive survey. It provides integrated coverage of the state-of-the-art in packet-switching technology by presenting contributions from the leading researchers in industry and universities.A mix of theoretical and practical material makes this book an essential reference for researchers in academia as well as industrial engineers.

This SpringerBrief presents a survey of data center network designs and topologies and compares several properties in order to highlight their advantages and disadvantages. The brief also explores several routing protocols designed for these topologies and compares the basic algorithms to establish connections, the techniques used to gain better performance, and the mechanisms for fault-tolerance. Readers will be equipped to understand how current research on data center networks enables the design of future architectures that can improve performance and dependability of data centers. This concise brief is designed for researchers and practitioners working on data center networks, comparative topologies, fault tolerance routing, and data center management systems. The context provided and information on future directions will also prove valuable for students interested in these topics.

This brief presents the novel PHY layer technique, attachment transmission, which provides an extra control panel with minimum overhead. In addition to describing the basic mechanisms of this technique, this brief also illustrates the challenges, the theoretical model, implementation and numerous applications of attachment transmission. Extensive experiments demonstrate that attachment transmission is capable of exploiting and utilizing channel redundancy to deliver control information and thus it can provide significant support to numerous higher layer applications. The authors also address the critical problem of providing cost-effective coordination mechanisms for wireless design. The combination of new techniques and implementation advice makes this brief a valuable resource for researchers and professionals interested in wireless penetration and communication networks.
