This bestselling and classic book, now in its Fourth Edition, continues to provide an enduring, practical understanding of networks and their building blocks through rich, example-based instruction. The authors' focus continues to be on the why of network design - not just the specifications comprising todays' systems, but how key technologies and protocols actually work in the real world to solve specific problems.
The "Systems Approach" adopted by the authors looks at "the big picture," encouraging readers to consider networks as interactive complex systems rather than rigidly defined layers. Thought-provoking problems are presented at the beginning of each chapter so that the student or professional can start to solve the issue with each new detail learned. Every chapter builds upon the last, continually enhancing the reader's knowledge adding new tools and resources until upon completion the reader thoroughly understands how complex networks and their applications are built.
