Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental content in the field of data communication and computer networks. Compared to the previous two editions, the third edition has significant updates in both content and organization. It inherits the strengths of the previous editions, such as a systematic theoretical structure, concise and easy-to-understand narrative language, and carefully selected review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter. At the same time, it places greater emphasis on combining fundamental theories with practical applications. For aspects that are highly concerned in applications, such as data compression, data integrity, data security, and flow control, separate chapters are dedicated to detailed explanations. Additionally, the content on Internet protocols and applications, as well as Internet programming, has been greatly enriched, making this book not only a theoretical textbook but also highly valuable for practical guidance.
