Building on the strength of his two other successful texts, Stallings' new text provides a fresh "Top Down" and comprehensive "Top Down" survey of the entire field of computer networks and Internet technology-including an up-to-date report of leading-edge technologies. It emphasizes both the fundamental principles as well as the critical role of performance in driving protocol and network design. The basic themes of principles, design approaches, and standards throughout the text unify the discussion.
