Computer Networks(4TH EDITION) by Andrew S. Tanenbaum

COMPUTER NETWORKS

Book Summary of Computer Networks

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. Tanenbaums 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, 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 including the Internet, and wireless networks with coverage of Wireless LANs and Bluetooth. This new Fourth Edition contains a new chapter devoted exclusively to network security
