DESCRIPTION:
"How about 6 stars" according to A Customer. Excellent organization! Excellent choice of topics! Excellent approach to presentation and teaching!Very timely as far as material covered. It covers issues that are just starting to be covered in the computer industry weekly magazines.Bypasses basics we are all familiar with and goes right for the good stuff network admins and designers want to know more about, like switch design, congestion control, and high-speed networking.The writing is more advanced than mo. "masterpiece of teaching language" according to Markus Pscheidt. I cannot remember to have read any book which is able to combine lively writing with a high level of theory in an abstract topic.the writing style makes builds up the overall picture more or less by itself in guiding your thoughts in a way that wants you to know more.The structure is perfectly modular, therefore it is also reference for the important ideas after you have gone through the book in the classroom as in my case.i can only congratulate the authors to t. Highly Recommended A Customer For a reader with a background in programming and/or computer science, this book is a great introduction to all major aspects of computer networking. The writing is easy to understand -- it seems the author is more interested in really communicating the ideas than in dazzling the reader with unnecessarily complicated language. The book is long on the underlying principles of networking, but also maintains a certain level of practicality that I really appreciated.
Larry Peterson is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Arizona, where he teaches the Computer Network and Operating System classes, and directs the Network Systems Research Group. He has been involved in the design and evaluation of several network protocols, as well as the design the x-kernel protocol implementation framework. He is an Associated Editor of the ACM Transactions on Computer Systems and the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and a membe
The form of each chapter provides the instructor with pedagogical tools that ease course preparation, and that enhance the student's learning experience.. Code fragments from the x-kernel, a working network subsystem, illustrate the concepts and demonstrate how the protocols are actually implemented. New: Unix Sockets Programming Assignments are now available for instructors A systems-oriented view of computer network design that goes beyond current technology to instill in readers a grasp of the underlying concepts and a foundation for making sound network design decisions. "Computer Networks" is thoroughly innovative in both form and content. Internet protocols are used as examples throughout, providing a practical and immediately relevant focus. Th
The authors then move right into a discussion of protocols. Though way out of the league of most computer users, true geeks with an interest in networking will find what they need here. There's a fascinating section--complete with plenty of C code--in which the authors actually develop a network protocol called A Simple Protocol (ASP). In the internetworking chapter, you'll learn practically all there is to know about Internet Protocol (IP). The concluding chapters talk about traffic management, congestion reduction, and high-speed networking technologies.Computer Networks reveals the guts of what's going on with computers that share data. In the beginning, Lar
