Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Certain data-communication protocols hog the spotlight, but they all have a lot in common. Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet explains the engineering problems inherent in communicating digital information from point to point. The top-down approach mentioned in the subtitle means the book starts at the top of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol stack--with the application layer--and works its way down through the other six layers until it reaches bare wire. The approach is definitely theoretical--don't look here for instructions on configuring Windows 2000 or a Cisco router--but it is relevant to reality and should help anyone who needs to understand networking as a programmer, system architect or even administration guru.

The treatment of the network layer, where routing takes place, is typical of the style overall. In discussing routing, authors Kurose and Ross explain (by way of lots of clear, definition-packed text) what routing protocols need to do: find the best route to a destination. They then present the mathematics that determine the best path, show some C code that implements those algorithms and illustrate the logic with excellent conceptual diagrams. Real-life implementations of the algorithms--including Internet Protocol (both IPv4 and IPv6) and several popular IP routing protocols--help you make the transition from pure theory to networking technologies. --David Wall --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, very readable -- good overview of new topics, 19 Mar 2001

By	O. F. RANA "Omer Rana" (Cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet (Hardcover)

This is a good and well written book covering new and emerging topics in computer networks. It includes extensive coverage of multimedia themes and protocols, and also covers other applications such as Web (HTTP) and Email (SMTP, IMAP and POP). There is also good coverage of TCP/IP and various inter-router protocols such as RIP, and multicast support in routers such as IGMP. The diagrams are useful and frequent.

Interviews with leading researchers and pioneers are refreshing -- and very useful in a classroom setting. I have used this book for an undergraduate course on computer networking, and also used material within the book on a distributed systems course. I have had positive responses from many students in the class, many of whom have rated this book as possibly one of the best textbooks in the area.

Perhaps, the only thing missing in the book is a chapter on mobile communications (such as integrating wired and wireless networks).

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book, 10 Oct 2004

By	R. Sultan (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Computer Networking: A Top-down Approach Featuring the Internet (Hardcover)

the book is very easy to read and provides a wonderful explanation of the issues surrounding network management, quality of service, multimedia networking and network security. However those are the later chapters, the earlier chapters of the book provides a very readable and detailed explanation of the 5-layer Internet protocol stack.

A highly recommended book for students that provides all you need to know regarding the Internet and its protocol stack and the introduction and detailed overview of the three major issues that surround the Internet (multimedia networking, network security and network management).
