ABOUT THE BOOK
Computer Networks � II by Prof.Nader F. Mir is suggested as textbook for studying the following subjects:
Computer Networks 2 in Information Science Semester 6 (Visveswaraya Technological University)
As the number and variety of communication services grow, so do the challenges of designing cost-effective networks that meet the requirements of emerging technologies in wireless, sensor, and mesh networks. Computer and Communication Networks is the first book to offer balanced coverage of all these topics using extensive case studies and examples.
This essential reference begins by providing a solid foundation in TCP/IP schemes, wireless networking, Internet applications, and network security. The author then delves into the field’s analytical aspects and advanced networking protocols.
Students and researchers will find up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of fundamental and advanced networking topics, including:
Packet-switched networks and Internet Network protocols
Links
LAN Protocols
Wireless Networks
Transport Protocols
Applications and Management
Network Security
Delay Analysis
QoS
High speed protocols
Voice over IP
Optical Networks
Multicasting Protocols
Compression of Voice and Video
Sensor/Mesh Networks
Network architecture books are often criticized for not offering enough practical, scenario-based information.Computer and Communication Networks provides an effective blend of theory and implementation not found in other books.
Key features include:
Figures and images that simplify complex topics
Equations and algorithms
Case studies that further explain concepts and theory
Exercises and examples honed through the author’s twelve years of teaching about networking
Overall, readers will find a thorough design and performance evaluation that provides a foundation for developing the ability to analyze and simulate complex communication networks.
