Synopsis

Computer and Communication Networks, Second Edition, explains the modern technologies of networking and communications, preparing you to analyze and simulate complex networks, and to design cost-effective networks for emerging requirements. Offering uniquely balanced coverage of basic and advanced topics, it teaches through case studies, realistic examples and exercises, and intuitive illustrations.

 

Nader F. Mir establishes a solid foundation in basic networking concepts; TCP/IP schemes; wireless and LTE networks; Internet applications, such as Web and e-mail; and network security. Then, he delves into both network analysis and advanced networking protocols, VoIP, cloud-based multimedia networking, SDN, and virtualized networks.

 

In this new edition, Mir provides updated, practical, scenario-based information that many networking books lack, offering a uniquely effective blend of theory and implementation. Drawing on extensive field experience, he presents many contemporary applications and covers key topics that other texts overlook, including P2P and voice/video networking, SDN, information-centric networking, and modern router/switch design.

 

Students, researchers, and networking professionals will find up-to-date, thorough coverage of

• Packet switching
• Internet protocols (including IPv6)
• Networking devices
• Links and link interfaces
• LANs, WANs, and Internetworking
• Multicast routing, and protocols
• Wide area wireless networks and LTE
• Transport and end-to-end protocols
• Network applications and management
• Network security
• Network queues and delay analysis
• Advanced router/switch architecture
• QoS and scheduling
• Tunneling, VPNs, and MPLS
• All-optical networks, WDM, and GMPLS
• Cloud computing and network virtualization
• Software defined networking (SDN)
• VoIP signaling
• Media exchange and voice/video compression
• Distributed/cloud-based multimedia networks
• Mobile ad hoc networks
• Wireless sensor networks

Key features include

• More than three hundred fifty figures that simplify complex topics
• Numerous algorithms that summarize key networking protocols and equations
• Up-to-date case studies illuminating concepts and theory
• Approximately four hundred exercises and examples honed over Mir’s twenty years of teaching networking
