Computer Networks - Andrew S. Tanenbaum 4th edt

**abudabi** · 2011-01-28, 12:50 AM

Appropriate for courses titled Computer Networking or Introduction to Networking at both the undergraduate and graduate level in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, CIS, MIS, and Business Departments. In this highly anticipated revision, Tanenbaum takes a structured approach to explaining how networks work from the inside out. He starts with an explanation of the physical layer of networking, computer hardware and transmission systems; then works his way up to network applications. Tanenbaum's in-depth application coverage includes email; the domain name system; the World Wide Web (both client- and server-side); and multimedia (including voice over IP, Internet radio video on demand, video conferencing, and streaming media. Each chapter follows a consistent approach: Tanenbaum presents key principles, then illustrates them utilizing real-world example networks that run through the entire book-the Internet, and wireless networks, including Wireless LANs, broadband wireless and Bluetooth. This new Fourth Edition contains a new chapter devoted exclusively to network security.The textbook is supplemented by a Solutions Manual, as well as a Website containing PowerPoint slides, art in various forms, and other tools for instruction, including a protocol simulator whereby students can develop and test their own network protocols.

From the Publisher
This classic best-seller has been completely revised and updated to reflect networking and internetworking technologies that will be most critical for years to come.

Award-winning educator and researcher Andrew S. Tanenbaum explains how computer networks work inside--from the hardware technology up to and including the most popular Internet application protocols. Throughout the book are running examples of ATM and the Internet.

Tanenbaum's extensive coverage of the Internet, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and wireless networking makes Computer Networks the first book to cover all three of these essential technologies, in addition to explaining the fundamental principles behind all computer networking. Tanenbaum clearly presents:
Internet applications such as the World Wide Web, Java, email, Usenet, multimedia, the Mbone, and the Domain Name System
Network security, including secret- and public- key algorithms, authentication protocols, and digital signatures.
TCP/IP and the latest internetworking technologies such as Mobile IP and IPv6 which are built atop the Internet's protocols
ATM: How it works in wide area (B-ISDN) and LAN environments
Local area networks, including IEEE, 802, FDDI, HIPPI, and Fibre Channel
The major wireless and mobile technologies, including such as AMPS, GSM, CDMA, and CDPD
Detailed discussions of the principles, modeling, and performance of protocols in various layers
Discussions of the underlying hardware technologies, from fiber optics to wireless communication
With 250 exercises, a separate solutions manual, protocol simulation software files written in C and figure files available for downloading, the book is perfect for students and networking professionals. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
