This book offers a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the design and implementation of high‑availability networks, with a strong focus on physical-layer technologies, VLSI-based network hardware, and network switching architectures. It covers optical transmission, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), fiber-optic communications, network protocols (e.g. SONET, TCP/IP), VLSI chip design for networking, circuit and packet switching, and network design principles for survivable, efficient, high-speed networks. Through case studies, practical examples, and detailed explanations, it is aimed at professionals, advanced undergraduates and graduate students in networking, telecommunications, and hardware design.
