Developing IP-Based Services: Solutions for Service Providers and Vendors
暫譯: 開發基於IP的服務：服務提供商和供應商的解決方案

This is the first book to give service providers a clear direction for building IP (Internet Protocol)-based services with the goal of staying competitive in the provisioning environment. The authors address both incumbent (e.g., AT&T, Ameritech, Verizon, etc.) and emerging service providers as well as vendors. Cover other topics such as VoIP, multicasting, VPNs, MPLS, and QoS, and issues like security, service guarantees, and real-time assurance monitoring. Case studies illustrate how successful and timely provisioning is achieved.
