Features: This book is a comprehensive, systematic, and professional foundational text on network engineering. It is well-organized with strong logical structure, following a sequence from the overall picture to details, and from fundamental layers to high-level applications, to comprehensively introduce various aspects of computer networks, computer local area networks, computer network communications, computer wide area networks, and the seven-layer OSI architecture from the lowest to the highest. The book is divided into 11 chapters. The first five chapters introduce the main theoretical foundations of the respective fields, including the basics of computer network engineering, the overall picture of computer networks, the overall picture of computer local area networks, the overall picture of computer communications, and the overall picture of computer wide area networks. This primarily covers the development history, architecture, and main related standards of various network types, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of these areas. The following six chapters introduce the main functions and communication protocols of each layer according to the OSI seven-layer architecture, from the lowest physical layer to the highest application layer (the session layer and presentation layer are covered in the same chapter), with a focus on analyzing the technical principles of each function. This book is suitable for self-study by network engineers and network administrators, as well as for those preparing to take the National Computer Technology and Software Professional Qualification (Level) Examination (Network Engineer and Network Administrator) as training and self-study materials. Due to its rich content, broad scope, and in-depth, professional introduction to principles and protocols, it can also serve as a reference textbook for colleges, universities, and training institutions. The book is divided into 11 chapters, with the first five chapters introducing the main theoretical foundations of the respective fields, and the last six chapters introducing the main functions and communication protocols of each layer according to the OSI seven-layer architecture, from the lowest physical layer to the highest application layer.
