Data Communications and Networks

Description:

This book is designed and developed assuming little or no technical background on part of the reader. The book
therefore first introduces the philosophy of data communications covering signal propagation and information encoding. It then proceeds to cover various technologies, OSI model, protocols, network architecture, internetworking concepts and TCP/IP. All this makes the book ideally suited for the first course on Data Communications and Networking. Salient Features: Unique introductory chapter describing various components of a communication system followed by an outline of the book in relation to this gives a clear idea to the reader about where and why of the placement of topics inside the book; independent, contemporary and comprehensive coverage of various protocols including OSI, ATM, Frame Relay, TCP/IP, ISDN and X.25; four chapters devoted to TCP/IP also covering TCP/IP, ARP, RARP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, DNS, EMAIL, FTP, TFTP, WWW.  HTTP and TELNET; exclusive chapter on Multimedia Communications; four useful appendices on lpv6, Hardware for error detection, Network management and monitoring, and Fundamental mathematics for problem solving; pedagogical features: Summary and Key Terms at the end of each chapter, 576 objective-type questions including true/false and multiple-choice type quizzes, 266 review questions and practice exercises, over 340 figures providing the text a visual approach.

描述：

本書設計和開發時假設讀者在技術方面幾乎沒有或沒有背景知識。因此，本書首先介紹了數據通信的理念，包括信號傳播和信息編碼。然後，它繼續介紹各種技術、OSI模型、協議、網絡架構、互聯網概念和TCP/IP。所有這些使本書非常適合作為數據通信和網絡的第一門課程。突出特點：獨特的引言章節描述了通信系統的各個組件，並概述了本書中各個主題的安排位置的原因和目的；獨立、現代和全面的協議覆蓋範圍，包括OSI、ATM、Frame Relay、TCP/IP、ISDN和X.25；四個章節專門介紹TCP/IP，包括TCP/IP、ARP、RARP、ICMP、TCP、UDP、DNS、EMAIL、FTP、TFTP、WWW、HTTP和TELNET；專門的多媒體通信章節；四個有用的附錄，包括lpv6、用於錯誤檢測的硬件、網絡管理和監控，以及解決問題的基礎數學；教學特點：每章結束時的摘要和關鍵詞，包括真假和多選題的576個客觀類型問題，266個復習問題和練習題，超過340個圖片為文本提供視覺化的方法。
