T1: A Survival Guide
O'Reilly Media (Verlag)
978-0-596-00127-8 (ISBN)
A practical, applied reference on T1 data transport, this text aims to help those navigating a 40-year-old technology originally designed for AT&T's voice network. This book brings together the knowledge needed to set up, test and troubleshoot T1. It covers the following broad topics: what components are needed to build a T1 line and how those components interact to transmit data effectively; how to use standardized link layer protocols to adapt the T1 physical layer to work with data networks; and how to troubleshoot problems and work with the telephone company, equipment manufacturers, and Internet service providers.
Matthew S. Gast is a former aspiring research physicist who found computer networking too addictive for his own good. He was initially hooked during a summer research program, when he found the Ethernet drop in his dorm room far more interesting than his assigned task of developing monitoring software for a particle accelerator. Upon returning to academic life in the fall, he suffered severe withdrawal symptoms, which he conquered only with the help of a new religion-Unix. He has been connected and sober since that fateful summer. Matthew is currently a Research Fellow at Nokia. His work deals with the intersection of mobility and security, with frequent excursions into routing and cryptography. In the course of daydreaming about changing the world, Matthew has been known to imagine networks that are much less complicated and repetitive to manage. Frequent travels take him away from his Silicon Valley home to a variety of locations throughout the U.S. and Europe, including the occasional visit to the corporate headquarters in Finland. On his last trip to Finland, Matthew crossed the Arctic Circle on a snowmobile in February. Matthew is the coauthor of Network Printing (also published by O'Reilly) as well as several other articles and white papers.
