Companies such as Lucent, Cisco, and Juniper are racing to build a single converging network that will provide data, video, and voice services across a common network infrastructure. Revolutionizing this change is the terabit routing technology which moves data at more than one trillion bits of data per second -- 100 times faster than currently available. This book focuses on the key issues surrounding these super-fast switches and their leading role in building the next generation of lightning-fast networks. Some of the critical topics discussed include: the paradigm shift from circuit-switched networks to all packet networks, the reliability of voice gateways, and network traffic engineering issues.
