Features: This book is an excellent networking textbook that combines theory with practice, is user-oriented, and introduces new technologies, achievements, and trends, with a difficulty level suitable for a wide audience. The authors possess a solid theoretical foundation and extensive practical experience, which gives the book unique characteristics in its structure, writing style, and practicality. First, in terms of structure, the book follows the traditional hierarchical model but does not strictly adhere to it to help readers understand major networking issues. Instead, it adopts an independent approach from the hierarchical model to organize the discussion of fundamental concepts. In terms of writing style, the book reveals the problems of protocol design not only theoretically but also practically. In terms of practicality, the book introduces rich examples from the Internet, presents many new protocols, and adapts the program code in the book for universal environments to facilitate readers' understanding and mastery. This book is a highly practical textbook, especially suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, information management, and related fields, as well as networking professionals. It can also be used for self-study by various professionals.
