商品描述


Description

By starting at the application-layer and working down to the protocol stack, Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet provides a motivational treatment of important concepts for networking students. Based on the rationale that once a student understands the applications of networks they can understand the network services needed to support these applications, this book takes a "top-down" approach where students are first exposed to a concrete application and then drawn into some of the deeper issues of networking.

Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet focuses on the Internet as opposed to addressing it as just one of many computer network technologies. Students are enormously curious about what is "under the hood" of the Internet, creating an extremely motivational vehicle for teaching fundamental computer networking concepts.

This text features a comprehensive companion website which includes the entire text online. It allows for direct access to some of the best Internet sites relating to computer networks and Internet protocols. The website has many interactive features, including direct access to the Traceroute program, direct access to search engines for Internet Drafts, Java applets that animate difficult concepts, and direct streaming audio. Finally, the website makes it possible to update the material to keep up-to-date with this rapidly changing field.

Features

  • Focuses on a specific motivating example of a network—the Internet—as well as introducing students to protocols in a more theoretical context.
  • Uses the layered model for the Internet (with a top-down approach), a popular approach that focuses on only the key layers that are covered in most courses.
  • Offers a complete pedagogical package with "Principles in Practice" sections, "Historical Perspective" sidebars, and interviews with leading networking professionals and researchers.
  • Includes material on application programming development.
  • Identifies fundamental networking issues as well as approaches towards addressing these issues.
  • Provides a comprehensive website that contains links to the most current information on the Internet and examples of networking concepts, and provides Java applets that animate concepts to help reinforce student learning and make abstract concepts more concrete.
