Features: This book provides a detailed introduction to the theoretical principles, technical standards, and protocols of broadband communication technology. As broadband communication network technology is a product of the integration of traditional telecommunication networks and computer networks, this book first delves into the principles of telecommunication and computer networks, and then elaborates on the development, principles, and technology of modern broadband communication networks. The book is divided into three parts: Telecommunication Networks and B-ISDN/ATM, including ATM principles, standards, broadband switching, and traffic control; TCP/IP technology principles and protocols in computer networks; and the technical principles of modern broadband communication networks, including the integration of IP and ATM technologies, IP switching and MPLS, IP quality of service, IP security and network management, IP mobility, and next-generation IPv6 technology. The book is easy to understand yet comprehensive, making it suitable as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate seniors and graduate students in computer science, network engineering, and communication information. It also provides valuable reference material for engineering technicians engaged in scientific research and development in related fields.
