Description
Mastering Computer Networking: Understanding how the Internet works is appropriate for Computer Networking or Introduction to Networking courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, CIS, MIS, and Business Departments. Gibson takes a structured approach to explaining how networks work from the inside out. He starts with an explanation of the physical layer of networking, computer hardware and transmission systems; then works his way up to network applications. Gibson's in-depth application coverage includes; the domain name system; the World Wide Web (both client- and server-side); Each chapter follows a consistent approach: Gibson presents key principles, then illustrates them utilizing real-world example networks that run through the entire book--the Internet, and wireless networks, including Wireless LANs, broadband wireless and Bluetooth.
