Computer Networks in its fifth, completely revised edition is the ideal introduction to the field of computer networks. This successful textbook covers the latest networking technologies for both wireless and wired communication. Among other topics, it discusses the following technologies: IEEE 802.11 (WiFi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMax), Bluetooth, and mobile networks, as well as ADSL, cable internet, Gigabit Ethernet, MPLS, and peer-to-peer networks. Notably, this current edition includes new topics such as 3G mobile networks, FttH (Fiber to the Home), RFID, delay-tolerant networks, and IEEE 802.11 security. Additionally, the curriculum on internet routing, multicasting, congestion monitoring, quality of service, real-time transmission, and content distribution has been expanded. Authors Andrew Tanenbaum and David Wetherall describe the inner workings of networks and examine their functionality, from the underlying hardware to their applications. This book analyzes and describes the principles associated with each layer and illustrates them with examples from the world of the internet and wireless networks. It is arguably the most important book on computer networks for every student and practitioner.
