Editorial Reviews
Review
"I particularly like the discussion of the Internet and the TCP/IP protocol suite up front. The overall emphasis on the Internet is right on. Most books show their age by framing their discussion of networking in terms of the OSI reference model." — Daniel Zappala, University of Oregon
From the Back Cover
Computer Networking with Internet Protocols and Technology, the newest book by award-winning author William Stallings, provides a clear and comprehensive survey of computer networks and leading edge Internet technologies. This top down approach is organized in a modular fashion permitting professors or professionals to design a course or plan of study to meet their own needs.
Major problems confronting network designers include the need to support multimedia and real-time traffic, to control congestion, and to provide different levels of quality of service (QoS) to different applications. The text incorporates solutions to these problems in discussion of principles, design approaches, and an up-to-date survey of developments in Internet-based protocols and algorithms. A comprehensive website and supplementary materials help professors implement the text into their courses, and assist students and professionals in learning about network performance and design with hands-on projects.
Features and benefits:- Top-down, flexible, modular organization provides teaching adaptability and reader motivation.
- Reporting on next-generation Internet protocols explains RSVP, MPLS, SIP and RTP and how they fit together.
- Unified examination compares Integrated and Differentiated Services (IS and DS).
- In-depth coverage introducing TCP/IP, its performance, and congestion control offers a foundation for detailed advanced material.
- Comprehensive survey of network security and network management covers the requirements and design issues involved in managing and safe guarding distributed systems.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Terse, in-depth network application introduction,
By Jack D. Herrington "engineer and author" (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Computer Networking with Internet Protocols and Technology (Paperback)
This is an excellent introduction to the application level of networking. Applications include protocols like telnet, mail, and the web. This is the heart of the book but there is also some discussion about the basics of networking at the physical layer including routing algorithms and packet structure.
The organization of the book is interesting. It starts with a high level introduction to network, then goes into applications, and ends up with the physical layer. Either way, the text is good, though terse, and the illustrations are excellent. This textbook makes for a find way to learn the fundamentals of network applications and protocol design.
