Features: This book systematically elaborates on the basic concepts, working principles, application technologies, security, and management of computer networks. The book is divided into 11 chapters. Considering that the primary purpose of non-computer science majors studying computer networks is for practical application, the book dedicates significant to network applications, and the introduction of network principles is also designed to help students better apply computer networks. The book reflects the new developments in computer network technology and, combined with the author's many years of research and practice in computer networks, strives to indicate the direction of network technology development. Considering that concepts such as protocols, network architectures, and communication processes in computer networks are relatively abstract, the book uses illustrations and examples to introduce these topics, employing analogies and other methods to help students grasp them more easily. Finally, each chapter includes a certain number of exercises to assist readers in practicing and reviewing computer networks, consolidating the knowledge they have learned. This book can serve as a textbook and reference for basic computer network courses in higher education institutions, as well as a self-study resource for enthusiasts of computer networks.
