Features: The best way to master network technology is to experiment hands-on. This book designs up to 45 experiments on internet technologies. Divided into six parts based on required hardware environments and the complexity of skills, these parts include design, probing, and testing experiments that can be completed on a single computer; network program design and network protocol design experiments conducted in a local area network environment; measurement and packet analysis experiments; internet configuration experiments; protocol stack development experiments conducted in a dedicated laboratory; and system design experiments carried out in a network systems engineering laboratory. Most previous computer network textbooks focus heavily on theory and provide limited experimental materials. This book is a dedicated network experiment textbook and serves as an excellent supplement to general network textbooks. It can be used as a laboratory textbook for undergraduate computer network experiments, as well as experimental material for project design by undergraduate or graduate students in network engineering. The highly acclaimed author Douglas E. Comer wrote this book, proving that the best learning method is to conduct experiments. Through hands-on experiments, students and professionals gain a deeper understanding of the working principles of computer networks and internet technologies.
