Features: This book starts with the most familiar and widely used network applications, which are high-level application programs and protocols, and gradually unravels the process of data transmission in a network, enabling readers to understand and master the entire process of data transmission in a network. The book is divided into 13 chapters: Chapter 1 introduces the origin, development, and future trends of computer networks; Chapter 2 mainly introduces the basic knowledge of data communication related to networks; Chapter 3 introduces the principles of network layering and common network layering models; Chapters 4 to 8 introduce the corresponding principles, protocols, and implementations of the application layer, transport layer, network layer, data link layer, and physical layer based on the OSI layered model from top to bottom; Chapter 9 introduces the ATM network technology model, its characteristics, and local area network simulation technology; Chapter 10 introduces the basic knowledge of IPv6 and the transition from IPv6 to IPv4; Chapter 12 introduces network security knowledge such as data encryption and firewalls; Chapter 13 introduces common network fault diagnosis, analysis, and troubleshooting, as well as the setup and configuration of common network servers. This textbook can serve as a teaching material for undergraduate computer science majors, or as a teaching material for non-computer science students or graduate students to further study computer networks. It also provides valuable reference for network engineering technicians and researchers in computer networks.
