Features: Since the 1990s, the rapid advancement of internet-based businesses has led to unexpected and remarkable development in IP technology. IP technology, with its connectionless characteristic, offers convenient connectivity, adapts to multi-service carriage, and achieves significantly higher channel utilization than circuit switching due to its statistical multiplexing approach. Today, the IP protocol is widely recognized by the communication, computer, and broadcasting industries as the foundation for the convergence of three networks! This book systematically and thoroughly analyzes the fundamental principles and technologies of IP broadband communication networks, including next-generation networks and soft switching, core protocols of IP communication networks (H.323 and SIP), QoS technologies in IP networks, security technologies, and more. It also provides detailed analysis and introduction of some new technologies in IP networks, such as MPLS and PLC. Finally, it covers various applications of IP broadband networks, offering rich content and novel material. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in communication engineering, as well as a reference for engineering professionals.
