About this title

Synopsis:

This book provides professionals with a fresh and comprehensive survey of the entire field of computer networks and Internet technology—including an up-to-date report of leading-edge technologies. TCP/IP, network security, Internet protocols, integrated and differentiated services, TCP performance, congestion in data networks, network management, and more. For programmers, systems engineers, network designers, and others involved in the design of data communications and networking products; product marketing personnel; and data processing personnel who want up-to-date coverage of a broad survey of topics in networking, Internet technology and protocols, and standards.

From the Back Cover:

Computer Networking with Internet Protocols and Technology, the newest book by award-winning author William Stallings, provides a clear and comprehensive survey of computer networks and leading edge Internet technologies. This top down approach is organized in a modular fashion permitting professors or professionals to design a course or plan of study to meet their own needs.

Major problems confronting network designers include the need to support multimedia and real-time traffic, to control congestion, and to provide different levels of quality of service (QoS) to different applications. The text incorporates solutions to these problems in discussion of principles, design approaches, and an up-to-date survey of developments in Internet-based protocols and algorithms. A comprehensive website and supplementary materials help professors implement the text into their courses, and assist students and professionals in learning about network performance and design with hands-on projects.

Features and benefits:

• Top-down, flexible, modular organization provides teaching adaptability and reader motivation.
• Reporting on next-generation Internet protocols explains RSVP, MPLS, SIP and RTP and how they fit together.
• Unified examination compares Integrated and Differentiated Services (IS and DS).
• In-depth coverage introducing TCP/IP, its performance, and congestion control offers a foundation for detailed advanced material.
• Comprehensive survey of network security and network management covers the requirements and design issues involved in managing and safe guarding distributed systems.
