Service Provider Networks : Design and Architecture Perspective

Service Provider Networks in many ways are unique networks. Many services might be serving millions of customers, so there might be many paths between different parts of the network as you will see in the book. There are many different types of Service Providers but there is very little information about some of them. This book will give you a High Level of an overview of the Service Provider Network Design and Architecture. It talks about the unique aspects of Service Provider networks, different types of Service Providers, and the business relationships between them. It covers the Service Providers' services, different access last mile offerings and transport networks, and their subscribers and services. Technical explanations about different types of Fixed and Mobile network services and the service provider's physical locations are also explained. You will see the Big Picture of Service Provider Networks. After understanding the Service Provider Concepts and Technologies, a fictitious National Service Provider network, named ATELCO will be introduced, to give you a more view of the technologies, protocols, services, and end-to-end traffic flow in great detail. And at last, the Evolving Technologies in the Service Providers and Massively Scale Datacenters will be seen.
