Synopsis

Since the publication of the first edition, Nortel has acquired several companies since publication; these companies bring with them new technologies that are featured in the Second Edition. This edition contains tips not found in the documentation that comes with Nortel equipment. The CD-ROM includes complete configuration files that can be easily downloaded directly to Nortel devices. Each chapter walks quickly through the fundamentals of a given topic and moves to advanced coverage. Coverage runs the gamut from local ethernet to layer 3 switching, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and internetworking, so there's something here for network engineers in organizations large and small. It contains real-life situations and the best way to derive maximum performance from real networks.
