(David)Material type: TextTextLanguage: English Publication details: Boston : Pearson Education, 2011Edition: 5th edDescription: 1 volume : illustrations ; 24 cmContent type: 36 ISBN: 9780132553179; 0132553171Subject(s): Computer networks | Computer networksDDC classification: 004.6 LOC classification: TK5105.5 | .T36 2011
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. The physical layer -- 3. The data link layer -- 4. The medium access control sublayer -- 5. Network layer desing issues -- 6. The transport layer -- 7. The application layer -- 8. Network security -- 9. Reading list and .bibliography
Summary: Tanenbaum takes a structured approach to explaining how networks work from the inside out. He starts with an explanation of the physical layer of networking, computer hardware and transmission systems; then works his way up to network applications. Tanenbaum's in-depth application coverage includes email; the domain name system; the World Wide Web (both client- and server-side); and multimedia (including voice over IP, Internet radio video on demand, video conferencing, and streaming media. Each chapter follows a consistent approach: Tanenbaum presents key principles, then illustrates them utilizing real-world example networks that run through the entire book-the Internet, and wireless networks, including Wireless LANs, broadband wireless and Bluetooth. The Fifth Edition includes a chapter devoted exclusively to network security. The textbook is supplemented by a Solutions Manual, as well as a Website containing PowerPoint slides, art in various forms, and other tools for instruction, including a protocol simulator whereby students can develop and .test their own network protocols
