Building the Mobile Internet (Paperback)

Building the Mobile Internet is the complete guide to technologies and protocols for delivering seamless mobile Internet experiences. In this book, three of Cisco’s leading mobility architects and implementers present complete foundational knowledge about tomorrow’s mobile Internet. They cover everything from market trends and user expectations to the latest technical approaches for making the Internet “mobile by design.” Writing for senior technology decision-makers and network design professionals, they explain the relatively static nature of the Internet’s original protocols and design, discuss the concept of “mobility,” and identify evolving mobility requirements. Next, they thoroughly explain each of today’s most promising techniques for building mobility into the Internet, from data link layer to network layer, transport/session layer to application layer. For each layer, the authors cover mechanisms, protocols, relevant Wi-Fi and cellular architectures, and key use cases. Using this book’s guidance, mobile network executives can define more effective strategies, network designers can construct more effective architectures, and network engineers can execute more successful migrations.
