Publisher's Synopsis
This book is one of the few devoted entirely to the design of telecommunications networks and the first to deal with the topic in sufficient depth to allow the reader to actually solve network design problems on a realistic scale. It is written by a leading expert in the field of network design who has developed and taught many courses in this subject and has developed actual network design tools, which are widely used in industry. The text explains the principles of network design so that the reader can continue to apply them even as new networking architectures emerge.
