Reader Reviews:
very good guide to design using tools for large scale nets (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book is written for designers of large scale data networks.
The book could also be used to assist with voice or mux design but is largely about designing router networks on a large scale, and optimising the designs.
The author provides methods and algorithms for automating the design of networks to optimise cost, performance, resilience etc, and deals with the practicalities of using design tools.
A simple design tool is available via FTP as a companion to the book (although i havent had time to get this and try it).
Most useful part of the book is the way it quantiifes network design rather than works with "wooly" statements like "better", "faster", "cheaper".
Not all of this is applicable to what i do every day, but I will be using some of these methods to improve my designs.
