Features: With the accelerating pace of humanity entering the information society, computer networks and their applications have developed rapidly and have deeply penetrated into all aspects of social life, profoundly influencing people's lifestyles and ways of thinking. For example, as a typical application of computer networks, the Internet, has become widely known and has become an indispensable part of daily life, serving as one of the main ways for people to effectively obtain information and engage in entertainment. Nowadays, not knowing how to "go online" is already an unimaginable thing. To adapt to future social development, it is necessary for students to learn and master knowledge in computer networks and communication. There are many textbooks on computer networks, but few are truly suitable for the learning characteristics of students in vocational colleges and technical schools. Many textbooks focus too much on theory and neglect the skill-oriented characteristics of students in vocational colleges and technical schools. Therefore, writing a textbook that emphasizes skills and practical application is an urgent requirement in the teaching of vocational colleges and technical schools today. This book is one of the series of textbooks for communication technology majors, organized and compiled from the perspective of the integration of computer network and communication technology, combined with the actual needs and characteristics of vocational college and technical school teaching. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 (Chapters 1-3) mainly introduces the basic concepts of computer networks and the content of data communication as the foundation of computer networks; Part 2 (Chapters 4-7) mainly introduces the basic concepts, structure, functions, access, and protocols of various computer networks; Part 3 (Chapters 8-9) mainly introduces some related technologies and applications of networks, such as integration technology, management technology, security technology, proxy technology, and cabling technology. The content of this book is closely integrated with practice, easy to understand, and accompanied by a large number of illustrations and examples, enabling readers to master the networking, use, and maintenance methods of various computer networks today after grasping the basic knowledge of computer networks. This book is suitable for undergraduate students of communication majors in higher vocational colleges, higher technical colleges, adult colleges, and private colleges. Undergraduate students of non-computer majors and communication majors can also use it, and it can be referenced by students, teachers, and network engineering technicians of other majors.
