Uses real-life examples of current systems in business, industrial, and institutional settings to explain how to structure and maintain a high-performance network. The authors demonstrate how to use SONET to interface with a variety of local and international networks, how to minimize data loss when communicating with older systems, the basics of digital carrier systems, timing and synchronization in digital networks, and payload mapping and management.
