Features: With the acceleration of humanity entering the information society, computer networks and their applications have developed rapidly and have deeply penetrated into all aspects of social life, profoundly influencing people's lifestyles and ways of thinking. For example, as a typical application of computer networks, the Internet, has become widely known and has become an indispensable part of daily life, serving as one of the main ways for people to effectively obtain information and engage in entertainment. Nowadays, not knowing how to "go online" is already an unimaginable thing. To adapt to future social development, it is necessary for students to learn and master knowledge in computer networks and communication. There are many textbooks on computer networks, but few are truly suitable for the learning characteristics of students in higher vocational and technical colleges. Many textbooks focus too much on theory while neglecting the skill-oriented nature of students in higher vocational and technical education. Therefore, writing a textbook that emphasizes skills and practical applications in computer networks and communication is an urgent requirement in the teaching of higher vocational and technical colleges today. This book is one of the series of textbooks for communication technology majors, organized and compiled from the perspective of combining computer network and communication technology, catering to the actual needs and characteristics of higher vocational and technical education. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 (Chapters 1-3) mainly introduces the basic concepts of computer networks and the content of data communication as the foundation of computer networks; Part 2 (Chapters 4-7) mainly introduces the basic concepts, structures, functions, access methods, and protocols of various computer networks; Part 3 (Chapters 8-9) mainly introduces some related technologies and applications of networks, such as integration technology, management technology, security technology, proxy technology, and wiring technology. The content of this book is closely integrated with practice, easy to understand, and accompanied by a large number of illustrations and examples, enabling readers to master the basic knowledge of computer networks while skillfully grasping the methods of networking, usage, and maintenance of various computer networks today. This book is suitable for undergraduate students of communication majors in higher vocational and technical colleges, higher colleges, adult colleges, and private colleges. It can also be used by undergraduate students of non-computer majors and communication majors, and is available for reference for students, teachers, and network engineering technicians from other majors.
