For advanced or second level courses in Computer Networking at the undergraduate or graduate level.
Focusing on network processor technology—a recent development that has become a standard tool used by designers—this book explores the motivation and use of network processors. Comer provides a superb overview, describes the design of network systems such as routers, bridges, switches, firewalls, and other equipment used on the Internet. Part I of the text considers protocol processing and covers implementations on a range of hardware architectures used in traditional network systems; Part II explores network processor technology; Part III examines one network processor in detail, the Agere APP550. Examples throughout are taken from commercially available products, but no knowledge of industry jargon is assumed.
