Features: In today's civilized life, the technology related to the internet and internet connectivity is possibly the fastest-growing. The result of this technological growth is that understanding internet and internet connectivity technology is essential for success in many professions, and the types of these professions are rapidly increasing. Consequently, the number of students taking network courses is also increasing proportionally. This book is about TCP/IP. It provides the necessary information for students who want to obtain degrees in data communication and internet connectivity. This book can also serve as a reference for professionals working on or preparing to work on TCP/IP-based networks. In short, this book is useful for anyone who needs to understand the TCP/IP protocol. This book is a textbook introducing the TCP/IP protocol family. The second edition, compared to the first edition of 2000, adds 6 chapters. The book consists of 31 chapters, divided into 5 parts: Part 1 (Chapters 1-3) introduces some basic concepts and fundamental technologies. Part 2 (Chapters 4-14) discusses the core protocols IP and TCP in the TCP/IP protocol family, as well as several major routing protocols. Part 3 (Chapters 15-25) discusses applications using network and transport layer protocols. Part 4 (Chapters 26-30) introduces issues closely related to the development of the Internet in recent years. Part 5 (Chapter 31) introduces IPv6 and the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Compared to similar books, this book has the following features: (1) It particularly emphasizes using diagrams to explain highly technical content; (2) It highlights important concepts; (3) It explains concepts effectively with practical examples; (4) It is rich in content, with this edition adding several chapters on newer topics in addition to the basic content, such as multicast routing and mobile IP; (5) Each chapter ends with a summary of the key points of the chapter and a list of important terms; (6) Each chapter includes a large number of exercises, which not only test the mastery of basic concepts but also deepen understanding of the content; (7) The book also includes 9 appendices at the end for reference. This book is an excellent network textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, and it also provides valuable reference material for teachers and researchers in computer network teaching and research, as well as for engineering professionals.
