DESCRIPTION:
The book features up-to-date network technology, including practical treatment of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).. This text provides an introduction to the inner workings of computer networks, employing an engineering approach that should help readers gain a grasp of not just how, but also why, networks work the way they do
--David WallTopics covered: Fundamentals of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6), and telephone networks. Multiplexing, collision management, queuing, switching and routing under ATM, IP, and switched voice. . An Engineering Approach to Computer Networking takes an academic approach to its topic--the author based this book on lectures he gave at several universities, after all. Suitable for students, working network engineers, and (to some degree) salespeople responsible for promoting network services, An Engineering Approach to Computer Networking: ATM Networks, the Internet, and the Telephone Network explains how voice and data networks operate. You can fault his writing style for its dryness, but not for lack of detail or breadth of coverage. Author Srinivsan Keshav does a great job of explaining how various systems--especially Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks, Internet Protocol (IP) networks, and swit
Serious text for developers of networking devices I am a senior engineer for network security operations who enjoys learning about networking technologies. I read this book because it compares and contrasts telephone, Internet, and ATM networks. I also have a general interest in learning how networks operate. I concentrate on security, but I realize knowing more about networks in general helps my intrusion detection work. I strongly recommend reading this book if you develop or research networking products. Less focused readers will quickly beco. Shashi Guruprasad said excellent reference for researchers & developers alike. I don't have anything other than superlatives for this book. I would probably compare this with, say, "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan & Ritchie, which is an accepted C programming bible. The book is NOT painfully huge yet it makes the reader get the right intuition very easily on almost every topic in networking.Every concept either has either a) rigourous analysis b) references to where rigourous analysis could be found c) or bothI particularly liked the "scheduling" chapter coz I had . A Customer said Master Piece - a must buy. The book is unique in many aspectsThe book is targeted at a wide audience both academic researchers and engineers working on real world problems. It not only describes current networking protocols, but also provides insight into why the protocols are the way they are. It relates the work in telephony with the work in data networking. The author is able to help the reader see the fundamental reasons which lead to these very different networks and how we can expect the technologies to converge in t
