Features: This book is based on the training objectives, characteristics, and requirements of higher vocational education, providing a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the basic knowledge, basic technologies, and practical knowledge of computer networks. It particularly emphasizes the combination of theory and practice, focusing on cultivating students' ability to connect theory with practice and their practical skills in network application. The book is divided into 12 chapters and three main parts:
The first part, "Fundamentals of Computer Networks," primarily introduces the basic concepts of computer networks, basic knowledge of data communication, and network architecture and protocols. This part serves as the foundation for the subsequent chapters.
The second part, "Network Application Technologies," mainly covers the architecture and standards of computer local area networks (LANs), new LAN and WAN application technologies, network interconnection technologies, network security and management technologies, and network operating systems. This part forms the basis for network applications.
The third part, "Network Applications," introduces broadband access networks, network system integration, Internet applications, and LAN networking practical training.
The book is written in clear and concise language, progressing systematically and explaining complex concepts in an accessible manner. It is logically structured and can be used as a textbook for computer network courses in higher vocational and technical colleges for electronic and management majors. It is also suitable for undergraduate, correspondence, or distance education students in non-electronic disciplines, as well as for use in various computer network training programs. Additionally, it serves as a self-study reference for enthusiasts of computer networks.
