DATA AND COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS 10/E (MPIE)

Two-time winner of the best Computer Science and Engineering textbook of the year award from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association

For a one/two-semester courses in Computer Networks, Data Communications, and Communications Networks in CS, CIS, and Electrical Engineering departments.

With a focus on the most current technology and a convenient modular format, this best-selling text offers a clear and comprehensive survey of the entire data and computer communications field. Emphasizing both the fundamental principles as well as the critical role of performance in driving protocol and network design, it explores in detail all the critical technical areas in data communications, wide-area networking, local area networking, and protocol design.

本書優點特色
˙A modular format – This structure allows instructors to easily design a course to meet their individual needs. For students, it breaks this massive subject into comprehensible parts.
˙Unifying principles – The text repeatedly emphasizes such principles as multiplexing, flow control, and error control, and contrasts their application in specific areas of technology. This enables students to understand how the same protocol design principles are applied at different levels of the protocol architecture.Design Approaches – Exploring alternative approaches to meeting specific communication requirements gives students a deeper understanding of communication system and protocol design.
˙Standards – A comprehensive discussion of the current status and future direction of related technology standards helps students understand the central role of standards in network and protocol design.
˙More than 250 homework problems – Problems ranging in difficulty, with solutions provided on the Instructor's Resource Center, give students the opportunity to test their comprehension of concepts.
˙Animations: Animation provides a powerful tool for understanding the complex mechanisms of network protocols. The ninth edition incorporates a number separate animations covering such protocols as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The text clearly indicates where the animations should be used.
˙Strong pedagogical support – The liberal use of figures and tables; glossary; list of acronyms; recommended reading list and Websites; and a bibliography provide students with convenient study tools.
