Więcej o książce

By starting at the application-layer and working down to the protocol stack, Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet provides a motivational treatment of important concepts for networking professionals. Based on the rationale that once a reader understands the applications of networks they can understand the network services needed to support these applications, this book takes a "top-down" approach where readers are first exposed to a concrete application and then drawn into some of the deeper issues of networking. Authors Kurose and Ross are world-renown for their past and present contributions to the field of computer networking, and together have written the most comprehensive and contemporary networking book to date. This book focuses on the Internet as opposed to addressing it as just one of many computer network technologies. Readers are enormously curious about what is "under the hood" of the Internet, creating an extremely motivational vehicle for teaching fundamental computer networking concepts.
