Data Communications and Networking is designed to help students
understand the basics of data communications and networking, and
the protocols used in the Internet in particular by using the protocol
layering of the Internet and TCP/IP protocol suite. Technologies related
to data communication and networking may be the fastest growing in
today's culture. The appearance of some new social networking applications
is a testimony to this claim. In this Internet-oriented society,
specialists need to be trained to run and manage the Internet, part
of the Internet, or an organization's network that is connected to the
Internet. As both the number and types of students are increasing,
it is essential to have a textbook that provides coverage of the latest
advances, while presenting the material in a way that is accessible
to students with little or no background in the field.
Using a bottom-up approach, Data Communications and Networking
presents this highly technical subject matter without relying on complex
formulas by using a strong pedagogical approach supported by
more than 830 figures. Now in its Fifth Edition, this textbook brings
the beginning student right to the forefront of the latest advances in
the field, while presenting the fundamentals in a clear, straightforward
manner. Students will find better coverage, improved figures and better
explanations on cutting-edge material. The "bottom-up" approach
allows instructors to cover the material in one course, rather than
having separate courses on data communications and networking.
New to this editioN
Changes is the End-of-Chapter Materials. Lab assignments
have been added to some chapters. Applets have been posted in the
book website to allow students to see some problems and protocols
in action.
