A systems oriented approach to computer network design, using the Internet as a model for illustrating network protocol design. Chapters on areas such as direct link networks and congestion control offer code fragments from a working protocol environment, the x -kernel, to demonstrate how protocol specifications and design principles are implemented. Includes chapter introductions; summaries; exercises; programming assignments; key paragraphs; and sidebars, plus a highly readable layout. For undergraduate and graduate courses.
