Computer Networks offers an introduction to the subject grounded in real-world examples. Authors Andrew Tanenbaum, Nick Feamster and David Wetherall explain how networks work from the inside out. Starting with the physical layer of networking, computer hardware, and transmission systems, the authors work their way up to network applications. Following a consistent approach, each chapter presents key principles, then illustrates them utilizing real-world examples: the Internet and wireless networks, including LANs, broadband wireless and Bluetooth.
The 6th Edition has been updated to reflect the most current technologies. A revised chapter on network security focuses on modern security principles and actions.
