Synopsis

Suitable for those with little or no background, this text offers an overview of networking and Internet technology. It provides a tour through all of networking, from the lowest level of data transmission and wiring to the highest levels of application software. An accompanying CD-ROM and Web site provide opportunities for a variety of hands on experiences. The CD contains copies of text figures, digitized images of network wiring and equipment, and files of data that can be used as input to student programs, a key search mechanism, and links to the Web site.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

8361G-1

"Professor Comer's book is a superb introduction to the field of Computer Networks and Internets. By far the best introductory textbook I have found of the subject." —Ivan Krsul, Professor, Universidad Católica Boliviana, Bolivia.

"A very good example of client and server code - simple enough for beginners yet illustrative of the key points." —Pradip K. Srimani, Professor, Colorado State University.

"Comer's text deals directly with technologies in wide application today, and the underlying theory... I've found it particularly useful with students who are professionals from other disciplines that need to understand the depth and breadth of networking in a one-semester course." —Stanley A. Telson, Extension Instructor, University of California-Berkeley.

"Dr. Comer has a remarkable ability to write highly technical material in a way that beginners can easily understand." —Barbara Hotta, Assistant Professor, Leeward Community College

"With Comer's book, I was able to spend a considerable amount of time on the exciting newer developments in application layer and web technology." —Javed I. Khan, Assistant Professor, Kent State University

The Second Edition of this best-selling text continues to answer the question, "How do computer networks and internets operate?" Douglas Comer, a leading computer networking authority, provides a self-contained tour from the lowest levels of data transmission wiring through the highest levels of application software, explaining how facilities and services are used and extended in the next level. Finally, the text explains how applications use reliable stream transfer to provide high-level services.

Computer Networks and Internets is appropriate for use by undergraduate students, as well as graduate students and professionals with little or no background in networking or operating systems. The text uses analogies and examples to define concepts instead of sophisticated mathematical proofs. The book's four sections cover Low-Level Transmission, Packet Switching, Internetworking, and Network Applications.

New to the Second Edition—

• Additions, updates, and changes throughout that cover the latest networking and internet technology.
• NEW Chapter 2 discusses tools students can use to explore the Internet.
• NEW Chapter 11 covers long-distance digital connection technologies such as leased digital circuits (e.g., T1, T3, and OC3) and local loop technologies (e.g., ADSL and cable modems).
• NEW Chapter 32 surveys middleware and discusses general concepts and specific technologies (e.g., ONC RPC, DCE RPC, MSRPC, COM and DCOM, and CORBA).

The CD-ROM and Web site have been updated with additional:

• Animations.
• Data files.
• Photos of equipment and wiring.
• Complete instructional materials.

Quatrième de couverture

Best-selling author and leading computer networking authority Douglas Comer builds a comprehensive picture of the technologies that allow the Internet to provide application services such as web browsing and instant messaging. This edition includes new chapters on the use of Internet technology.

The book offers an incomparable tour that explains everything from Internet applications to the lowest levels of packet transmission. It shows how protocols are layered, and explains how a given layer provides services used by the next higher layer.

KEY FEATURES

Revised and updated throughout, including:

• FAQ email list with answers to questions from a leading networking authority
• NEW―Chapter 24, User Datagram Protocol: Introduces an end-to-end datagram protocol and shows how to use it. Once considered insignificant, UDP forms the important basis for multicast and broadcast applications and new applications that transfer audio or video.
• NEW―Chapter 26, Network Address Translation (NAT): Explains how NAT technology overcomes a major limitation of the Internet by allowing multiple computers to share a single IP address, especially important for residential and small business installations.
• NEW―Chapter 33, IP Telephony: Discusses the most exciting new Internet application, transmitting telephone calls over the Internet (VoIP). The chapter explains competing standards for IP telephony, including protocols such as H.323, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and MegacoIt also shows a sample SIP session.
• Includes a CD-ROM with animations, packet traces, more than 200 photos of networking equipment, code from the book and copies of protocol standards. A Web site with additional items including instructional materials is at http://netbook.cs.purdue.edu
• Accompanying lab manual, Hands-On Networking with Internet Technologies, Second Edition, offers an integrated package for teachers.
