This book covers network analysis and architecture for large-scale computer network planning. Networks and the Internet are essential for modern industries and societies. Building a new network, upgrading an existing network, or planning to use a public network requires integrating various network mechanisms and technologies in a cohesive fashion. This demands a deep understanding of the concepts, principles, processes, approaches, and good practices of advanced network planning. More specifically, emphasizing service-based networking, the book introduces structured processes for network planning, provides systematic approaches for network analysis and architecture, develops network planning specifications, and discusses high-level network architectural models from various perspectives. It also offers detailed discussions on component-based architecture about addressing, routing, performance, management, and security and privacy. Recent developments in data centers, virtualization, and cloud are also embedded into the network architecture. Moreover, the book includes a comprehensive introduction to building practical TCP/IP network communications via sockets with practical examples. The book is suitable for use as a textbook for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students or as a reference book for network practitioners looking to develop or enhance their skills in network planning.
The main theme of this book is network analysis and architecture design for network planning. While there are various types of networks, this book specifically focuses on computer networks for data communication. Therefore, it uses the term networks to specifically refer to computer networks unless specified explicitly otherwise. Computer networks interconnect computing and network devices for data communication and network services, typically utilizing shared network resources. They have become an integral part of fundamental infrastructure in modern industries and societies. Organizations reply on computer networks to gather, exchange, store, and analyze information for business intelligence, which assists in, and supports, business decisions. The worldwide system of interconnected computer networks forms the Internet.
With the increasing complexity of modern computer networks and network services, it becomes a challenging task to build a new network, upgrade an existing network, or use a third-party or public network for an organization, especially when dealing with a large-scale network. It requires a deep understanding of the concepts, principles, mechanisms, process, and methodology of network planning. This book will help develop such a profound understanding of network analysis and architecture design, which are pivotal aspects of high-level network planning.
Network planning involves strategic planning of building a new network, upgrading an existing network, or utilizing a third-party or public network for an organization before the network is implemented. It serves business goals within various constraints and ensures that the network meets current and future requirements in a cost-effective way. Additionally, network planning encompasses determining how to provide network connectivity and scalability, as well as how to provision and secure network functions and services at the expected levels of Quality of Service (QoS).
