No experience required!
Gain an understanding of wireless networking basics with this reader friendly guide
The first book anyone should read about wireless networks with step-by-step instruction
Learn from an author experienced in and known for writing to a generalist wireless audience with a clear, simple-to-understand style
As a basic introduction to wireless networking, >Wireless Networks First-Step> assumes that readers have no previous wireless experience. The book provides an overview of wireless networking, along with details of applicable standards and technologies. Newcomers to wireless technologies will find practical information along with an abundance of examples. Case studies throughout the chapters provide real-world implementation examples, presented in a non-technical fashion. Implementation details are discussed only to the extent that readers can identify what type of wireless network may be appropriate for their needs.
>Wireless Networks First-Step>, written by Jim Geier, begins with a basic introduction to wireless networks and an explanation of radio wave communications. It then reviews different types of wireless networks including WPANs (wireless personal area networks), WLANs (wireless local area networks), wireless MANs (metropolitan area networks), and WWANs (wireless wide area networks). The final section covers security threats to wireless networks, and solutions to combat these threats.
Routing TCP/IP, Volume II (CCIE Professional Development)
The complexities of exterior gateway protocols, including TCP connections, message states, path attributes, interior routing protocol interoperation, and setting up neighbor connections, require a comprehensive understanding of router operations in order to manage network growth. Routing TCP/IP, Volume II, provides you with the expertise necessary to understand and implement BGP-4, multicast routing, Network Address Translation, IPv6, and effective router management techniques. Jeff Doyle’s practical approach, easy-to-read format, and comprehensive topic coverage make this book an instant classic and a must-have addition to any network professional’s library.
Routing TCP/IP, Volume II expands upon the central theme of Volume I: scalability and management of network growth. Volume II moves beyond the interior gateway protocols covered in Volume I to examine both inter-autonomous system routing and more exotic routing issues such as multicasting and IPv6. This second volume follows the same informational structure used effectively in Volume I: discussing the topic fundamentals, following up with a series of configuration examples designed to show the concept in a real-world environment, and relying on tested troubleshooting measures to resolve any problems that might arise. Designed not only to help you walk away from the CCIE lab exam with one of those valued and valuable numbers after your name, this book also helps you to develop the knowledge and skills essential to a CCIE. Whether you are pursuing CCIE certification, need to review for your CCIE recertification exam, or are just looking for expert-level advice on advanced routing issues, Routing TCP/IP, Volume II helps you understand foundation concepts and apply best practice techniques for effective network growth and management.

Understand how to apply QoS in campus network designs by examining end-to-end case studies
Quality of service (QoS) is the set of techniques designed to manage network resources. QoS refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various LAN and WAN technologies. The primary goal of QoS is to provide flow priority, including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some interactive and delay-sensitive traffic), and improved loss characteristics.
While QoS has become an essential technology for those organizations rolling out a new generation of network applications such as real-time voice communications and high-quality video delivery, most of the literature available on this foundation technology for current and future business applications focuses on IP QoS. Equally important is the application of QoS in the campus LAN environment, which is primarily responsible for delivering traffic to the desktop.
Cisco Catalyst QoS is the first book to concentrate exclusively on the application of QoS in the campus environment. This practical guide provides you with insight into the operation of QoS on the most popular and widely deployed LAN devices: the Cisco Catalyst family of switches. Leveraging the authors’ extensive expertise at Cisco in the support of Cisco Catalyst switches and QoS deployment, the book presents QoS from the campus LAN perspective. It explains why QoS is essential in this environment in order to achieve a more deterministic behavior for traffic when implementing voice, video, or other delay-sensitive applications. Through architectural overviews, configuration examples, real-world deployment case studies, and summaries of common pitfalls, you will understand how QoS operates, the different components involved in making QoS possible, and how QoS can be implemented on the various Cisco Catalyst platforms to enable truly successful end-to-end QoS applications.

Definitive MPLS Network Designs
The only design guide covering key MPLS technologies: MPLS VPNs, Pseudowires, QoS, Traffic Engineering, network recovery, IPv6, multicast
The definitive design guide for key MPLS technologies
Benefit from the authors’ vast experience in MPLS network deployment and protocol design
Understand technology applications in various service provider and enterprise topologies
Visualize real-world solutions and production network best practices through clear, detailed design studies
Service providers can turn to numerous sources that describe technologies used in MPLS networks, such as QoS, Traffic Engineering (TE), and VPN; however there is no single resource that illustrates how to actually design a network that benefits from the latest technologies, and combines them optimally for a specific environment. Definitive MPLS Network Designs fills this void by providing a series of design studies showing how to combine key techniques and technologies at the heart of IP/MPLS networks in line with real-life network best practices.
The book starts with a technology refresher for each of the technologies covered in the design studies, including VPNs, TE, QoS, multicast, Pseudowires, network recovery, and IPv6. Following this overview are detailed design studies, each based on a set of characteristics and objectives common to a profile of networks deploying MPLS. The book contains a design study for an Inter-eXchange Carrier (IXC), a national telco, a Global Service Provider, and an enterprise. The authors develop each design study in a consistent manner, starting with a description of the network environment and supported services. They then identify the objectives that influenced the design. Each study then details all aspects of the network design using the latest MPLS technologies. Finally, a number of lessons to be drawn from the design study are pointed out, allowing readers to apply the solutions that meet their needs.
