Synopsis
Primarily intended for junior/senior or graduate level courses in computer networks, data networks, or distributed processing in CS or EE departments. Also useful (with selective omission of sections or chapters) for less advanced students. This is the first book that explains how computer networks work inside, from the hardware technology up to and including the most popular Internet application protocols. While students are not expected to have a background in computer networks or advanced mathematics, a general background in computer systems and programming is assumed., This text integrates a wide variety of topics using the TCP/IP suite of protocols, starting with the physical layer, and then proceeding through the data link, network, transport, session, and presentation layers, up to the application layer. Tanenbaum emphasizes protocols and software, rather than hardware and theory, throughout. It also covers high speed networking, and mobile and cellular communications, and devotes entire chapters to ATM and the Internet. While students are not expected to have a background in computer networks or advanced mathematics, a general background in computer systems and programming is required.
