High Performance Computer Networking, Routing, Switching and Security: Modern Network Infrastructure

By Dr. Rahul Sharma

High-Performance Computer Networking: Routing, Switching & Security is a concise and practical resource that explores the essential principles and technologies behind building fast, reliable, and secure networks. It begins with fundamental networking concepts and key performance metrics such as throughput, latency, jitter, and quality of service (QoS), which are crucial for evaluating and optimizing network performance.

The book systematically covers network models (OSI and TCP/IP), topologies, and types (LAN, WAN, MAN), providing a solid understanding of how networks are structured. It delves into routing protocols like RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, explaining their operations, configurations, and performance aspects. Switching technologies such as VLANs, STP, MAC tables, LACP, and port security are also thoroughly addressed, emphasizing how Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching enhances network efficiency and scalability.

Security is a central focus, with in-depth discussions on securing routing protocols, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, and control plane policing. The book also explores practical configurations and threat mitigation strategies.

The text introduces advanced and emerging technologies like SDN, cloud networking, IoT, and 5G, preparing readers for modern networking challenges. This book is ideal for students, professionals, and network engineers aiming for high-performance and secure network design.
