About this title

Synopsis

This clearly written and logically organized book allows learners to gain a deeper understanding of computer networks and internets by asserting that the best way to learn is by doing: it allows for hands-on experience with a real network. Through experiments, users learn that interconnecting hardware, configuring software, measuring performance, observing protocols in action, and creating client-server programs over a network all help sharpen understanding. The book is organized into six sections that each consider a hardware platform, from the most basic to the most advanced, and outlines experiments that can be carried out using these platforms. For network engineers, managers, and programmers. .
