Covers the realities of implementation in an incredible technology.

MPLS is many things to many people. If you're moving IP voice traffic, it may mean performance gains for you.

Daniel Minoli's "Voice Over MPLS" gives you the technical and business lowdown on innovative new solutions for packet-based voice. What does it take to build flexible, high-performance networks with enhanced quality of service? Maybe not as much as you think.

RELIABLE VOICE SERVICES THAT CUSTOMERS CAN AFFORD

With VoMPLS, you can deliver the quality associated with VoIP over ATM links without the cost in either bandwidth or equipment. Based on label-switching standards from the...

Hotspot Networks are a new industry that seemed to come out of nowhere at the end of 2001. It has been described as a thrreat to the carriers' cellular networks (ABC News) and "the guerrilla revolution of wireless computing" (Seattle Times). Hotspots offer users Internet and telecom services that are up to 40 times faster and less than 1/10 as expensive as what they've got now. Reminiscent of the '90s, the action is evenly split between startups and providers, and the business press is following this industry closely.

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the future of Internet telephony. And this book is your guide to that future.

IPv6 is the replacement for the currently used IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4). IPv6 will offer increased IP addresses (full 128-bit addresses, compared to the 32-bit addresses of IPv4), enhanced security, and greater robustness. It will also be fully "backwards compatible" with existing IPv4 systems. These capabilities will finally make Internet telephony a viable competitor to conventional switched telephone networks. In this book, Dan Minoli clearly explains IPv6 and...

While many books focus on the broader, socially ethical topics of widening participation and promoting equal opportunities, this text focuses specifically on the lecturer's professional responsibilities. It covers everyday, real-life moral dilemmas which confront university teachers when dealing with students and colleagues - whether arising from facilitated discussion in the classroom, deciding whether it is fair to extend a deadline, investigating suspected plagiarism or dealing with complaints.

Specifically written to address the business opportunities and challenges facing corporate managers, this book is also intended for use by corporate planners, communications managers, consultants and other telecommunications network professionals. The book focuses on the networked aspects and requirements of multimedia, describing how today's desktop multimedia systems will continue to evolve towards client/server applications and remotely distributed systems. It addresses such topics as video-conferencing, platforms (PCs and workstations), digital video encoding techniques and ATM advances...
