It has also become a major reference book for the network course of doctoral entrance exams at Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The book is structured around the five-layer Internet model, employing vivid and intuitive descriptions to thoroughly introduce the fundamental knowledge, basic concepts, basic principles, and practical methods in the fields of data communication and networking. It is considered a classic work in data communication and networking.
