This book provides in depth knowl- edge on telecommunication switching and good background for advanced studies in communi- cation networks. The entire subject is dealt with conceptual treatment and the analytical or mathematical approach is made only to some extent. For best understanding, more diagrams (202) and tables (35) are introduced wherever necessary in each chapter. The telecommunication switching is the fast growing field and enormous research and development are undertaken by various organizations and firms. The communication networks have unlimited research potentials. Both telecommunication switching and communication networks develop new techniques and technologies everyday. This book provides complete fun- damentals of all the topics it has focused. However, a candidate pursuing postgraduate course, doing research in these areas and the employees of telecom organizations should be in constant touch with latest technologies. For this purpose, in each chapter end, the related websites, which provides sufficient informations’s, are added. Also, the subjects like signalling techniques, traffic engineering, billing and charging procedure, telecommunication system organizations are subject to changes according to the govt. policies and changing scenario in the economy of the country, political changes, pressures from people etc. Hence, the viewers of this subject should have constant touch with changes. For this purpose also, the related websites are added at all the chapters end. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 are introductory chapters. A reader having previous exposure to these topics may start from the fourth chapter. Chapter 1 introduces the historical develop- ment of the subject. Chapter 2 deals with the telecommunication standards organizations and the standards, which are useful to provide worldwide telecom services with better interconnectivity. The telephone systems, transmission systems and the impairments related to the transmission of signals are described in the chapter 3. Also, the study of section 3.6 will be highly useful in understanding of digital switching and transmission. Entire 4th chapter discusses the evaluation of PSTN, electromechanical switching sys- tem, SPC exchanges those are basics for digital switching systems, various switching proce- dures and the components used in switches. Chapters 5 and 6 deal with the digital switching and computer controlled switching pro- cedures and some currently available switching systems are discussed. Chapter 7 concentrates on signalling techniques. The signalling system enables the quick path setup between calling and called subscribers. Chapter 8 is completely devoted to traffic engineering that covers various systems and blocking models. Chapter 9 helps the viewer to understand the numbering plan, charging and how to organize an exchange. Chapters 10, 11 and 12 are devoted completely to communication networks. Chapter 10 deals with DSL technologies and SONET/SDH networks. The chapter 11 gives idea about OSI http://jntu.blog.com dharm d:\N-Tele\TITLE.pm5 4 http://jntu.blog.com ( vi ) model, TCP/IP and ATM concepts.

INTRODUCTION Telecommunication networks carry information signals among entities, which are geographically far apart. An entity may be a computer or human being, a facsimile machine, a teleprinter, a data terminal and so on. The entities are involved in the process of information transfer which may be in the form of a telephone conversation (telephony) or a file transfer between two computers or message transfer between two terminals etc. Today it is almost truism to state that telecommunication systems are the symbol of our information age. With the rapidly growing traffic and untargeted growth of cyberspace, telecommunication becomes a fabric of our life. The future challenges are enormous as we anticipate rapid growth items of new services and number of users. What comes with the challenge is a genuine need for more advanced methodology supporting analysis and design of telecommunication architectures. Telecommunication has evaluated and growth at an explosive rate in recent years and will undoubtedly continue to do so. The communication switching system enables the universal connectivity. The universal connectivity is realized when any entity in one part of the world can communicate with any other entity in another part of the world. In many ways telecommunication

Yost on 4 April 2012 Computer Services Project Sunnyvale, California Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Technology University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright, Charles Babbage Institute Warren Prince Interview 4 April 2012 Oral History 413 Abstract Warren Prince was an executive at Tymshare and served as the leader of TYMNET. He served on the management team at McDonnell Douglas after it acquired TYMNET. The interview concentrates on TYMNET’s history and explaining and providing context to some of the documents he provided for the interview. 2 Prince: So will you produce the chapter in your book out of audio? I’ve got a bunch of papers that might be of interest or might not. Yost: Terrific, I would. Prince: Because it kind of shows; first, on the TYMNET side it shows the growth of it and really, the initial problems of it, which graphically shows it instead of saying it. And then the McDonnell Douglas part. Anyway, we can get into that when the time comes. Yost: Sounds good. My name is Jeffrey Yost, from the Charles Babbage Institute at the University of Minnesota, and I’m here today on April 4th, 2012, with Warren Prince of Tymshare and TYMNET. I’d like to begin just with some brief biographical stuff. Could you tell me where you were born, where you grew up? Prince: Born in Walnut Creek, California but grew up mostly in Arizona; Glendale, Arizona. And went through; started at the University of Arizona, and then joined the Army.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.
