About this title

From the Back Cover

Written for system managers and users, this up-to-date introduction to data communications provides students with a thorough understanding of both the technical and managerial aspects of the field. Additionally, the fourth edition offers extensive new coverage of LANs, WANs, network management, and network interconnection as well as the most current information on the Internet, the Information Superhighway, groupware, and client/server technology.

As always, Stamper's accessible writing style is one of the key features of Business Data Communications. To facilitate learning, he incorporates a running glossary throughout the text, content previews and learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter, and summaries, review questions, and exercises at the end of each chapter. Plus, the author now provides a case scenario in each Part Opener; these scenarios focus on the Information Superhighway, network administration, and more.
