| Review: |
This book is for service providers who are in, or hope to get into, the triple- and multi-play service market (Internet, video & VoIP service and more sophisticated Intenet services with specialised Quality of Service handling), explaining how to work through the issues and challenges involved in designing and deploying such services. It begins with the history of broadband networks and goes on to look at what triple-play and multi-play services actually are, how operators implement backbones that carry triple-play services, how to design a triple-play access network, and how to choose the right access protocol – PPP or DHCP? Other chapters cover: evolutions in last-mile broadband access, wholesale broadband networks, deploying Quality of Service, the future of wireless broadband, managing IP addressing, subscriber session management and security in broadband networks. |
