Synopsis

Most communication books focus on how to increase bandwidth and most of them focus on one method of bandwidth. This book covers all flavors of bandwidth -- and how to optimize it -- in one place.-- Covers all platforms including UNIX, Linux, Windows NT, Windows 95 and Netware.-- Gives hundreds of "tweaks" that network managers can use immediately.-- Quick look-me-up tables for maximizing bandwidth.-- "Network angioplasty" -- cures network circulation problems.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Tools to tame complexity and eliminate inefficiency...
From the home PC user to the most elite systems architect, everyone yearns for expanded bandwidth. OPTIMIZING BANDWIDTH, by Michele Petrovsky, offers a thorough grounding not only in bandwidth basics, but also in the implications imposed by the usage of communications media, network topographies and extent, and server and client applications.

Accessible to those without technical backgrounds, as well as the most seasoned professional, this book tackles heavy-duty bandwidth topics, including how to:

· Grasp bandwidth basics, from TCP/IP through hardware, software, and connectivity
· Increase usable bandwidth on many platforms
· Choose optimal channels and topography
· Maximize bandwidth by changing the configuration of connections, switches, protocols, interfaces, and operating systems
· Configure client/server apps and Web browsers for peak efficiency
· Perform network "angioplasty" for improved circulation

OPTIMIZING BANDWIDTH examines real-world scenarios, benchmarking, and monitoring these both before and after the implementation of bandwidth tweaks, in order to offer readers down-to-earth suggestions on how to configure their own bandwidth resources more efficiently.

Synopsis:

Covering a wide range of platforms including: UNIX, Windows NT, Linux, Windows 95 and Netware, this text provides numerous "tweaks" that network managers can use. It also features tables for maximizing bandwidth.
