De la contraportada

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.
