Features: This book is a textbook and practical technical guide introducing systematic methods in network analysis, architecture, and design. The author has over 20 years of practical experience in network architecture, design, and deployment. The entire book emphasizes a coherent and efficient systematic methodology, covering the analysis of user requirements, performance requirements, and traffic, as well as how to meet these requirements. It discusses where and how to implement network architecture (including addressing and routing architecture, network management architecture, performance architecture, and security and privacy architecture), how to select appropriate technologies for network design, and techniques for interconnecting these technologies in the design process. The book provides many detailed and practical examples, with useful exercises at the end of each chapter to help students and technicians better understand and master practical skills. This book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer and communication network-related fields, as well as serving as a practical reference for network professionals.
