Opis

Now in an expanded second edition, this text on current networking technologies and protocols covers theory and applications, and now includes fresh solved exercises as well as detailed treatment of new topics in networking, such as MPLS and access protocols.

Recenzje

"This book is a fantastic exposition of sound concepts explained beautifully. ... it is clearly an advanced undergraduate or graduate-level book. Researchers will love it. ... it has all the necessary ingredients to turn into a longtime classic book in this area. The author successfully pulls together all of the necessary research and knowledge in the area of computer network theory." (Naga Narayanaswamy, Computing Reviews, December, 2015)

Blurb

This book provides a basic description of current networking technologies and protocols as well as important tools for network performance analysis based on queuing theory. The second edition adds selected contents in the first part of the book for what concerns: (i) the token bucket regulator and traffic shaping issues; (ii) the TCP protocol congestion control that has a significant part in current networking; (iii) basic satellite networking issues; (iv) adding details on QoS support in IP networks. The book is organized so that networking technologies and protocols (Part I) are first and are then followed by theory and exercises with applications to the different technologies and protocols (Part II).

This book is intended as a textbook for master level courses in networking and telecommunications sectors.
