Features: This book has a clear structure, lucid concepts, and content closely related to real-world technology. It is suitable as a textbook for computer science, information technology, automatic control, management engineering, and related majors in higher education institutions. It can also serve as a reference for engineering professionals. This book is a fundamental textbook on computer networks with a completely new structural approach. It is divided into four parts, each offering a different perspective to observe and understand the working principles of computer networks:
Part 1 observes computer networks from a flat perspective, introducing the basic communication technologies on the two fundamental elements of computer networks—links and nodes.
Part 2 observes computer networks from a vertical perspective, focusing on several computer network architectures.
Part 3 observes the working principles of computer networks from the perspective of the relationship between communication parties.
Part 4 observes the working principles of computer networks from an implementation perspective.
These four parts break down the fundamental principles of computer networks into four relatively independent levels. After completing each level, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the working principles of computer networks. Through these four aspects of study, readers will establish a comprehensive and relatively profound grasp of the basic concepts of computer networks and master the fundamental technical principles of computer networks.
