Features: This book explains and analyzes communication concepts involved in computer networks from the perspective of data communication. Unlike typical computer network textbooks, the author describes network communication protocols from the viewpoint of communication systems, focusing on the process and specific implementation methods of data communication. This provides a solid foundation for non-communication professionals learning computer networks. Chapters 16-20 cover many major issues in computer networks, including: OSI architecture, TCP/IP protocols, ATM, SONET/SDH, Frame Relay, and local area networks, etc. This is helpful for those who have studied or are familiar with networks to deepen their understanding. Compared to the previous edition, this book has added a lot of new content. It is a valuable reference book for computer network engineers, university undergraduates, and graduate students.
