As one of the fastest growing technologies in our culture today, data communications and networking presents a unique challenge for instructors. As both the number and types of students are increasing, it is essential to have a textbook that provides coverage of the latest advances, while presenting the material in a way that is accessible to students with little or no background in the field. Using a bottom-up approach, Data Communications and Networking presents this highly technical subject matter without relying on complex formulas by using a strong pedagogical approach supported by more than 700 figures.
Now in its Fourth Edition, this textbook brings the beginning student right to the forefront of the latest advances in the field, while presenting the fundamentals in a clear, straightforward manner. Students will find better coverage, improved figures and better explanations on cutting-edge material. The “bottom-up” approach allows instructors to cover the material in one course, rather than having separate courses on data communications and networking.

Great condition, great buy, great everything. Will order from this place again. I was skeptical about ordering a used text but this wasn’t bad at all.

Good introduction to the five layer Internet model
Read this book recently as part of a graduate level introductory course on computer networks at the University of Saint Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The book covers the five layer TCP/IP protocol suite and provides a basic understanding about each layer using plenty of diagrams complemented with supporting text.A lot has changed in the networking area since I took a Computer Science course about the topic during my undergraduate days in the late ’80s – wireless communications, Internet telephony, multimedia, network security, and IPv6 – to name just a few. And this book gave me enough information to get caught up with a basic understanding about the newer developments, and provided a much required refresher about content I had forgotten about or partially understood in the past. There is also an online learning center for this book – which in my case, helped prepare for tests and revise my understanding of the chapter materials. Included as well is some introductory coverage about cross-cutting topics such as Network Security and Quality of Service.In short, I found the book to be an easy to understand introduction to a highly technical and interesting topic. One gripe I have about this book is it’s rather high price. At $120, it makes for quite an expensive book and I probably would not have bought it had it not been required for the course.

Stolen from a Library
I like the condition of the book, but I don’t like the idea that it was stolen from a Library. It still has stampmarks and its Library Identification from its side.

It’s one of the best book if you are thinking to understand communications. It’s comprehensive and use simple words to explain the concepts. It’s a little bet old though but as for the beginners I really recommend it.

Legacy Knowledge
The knowledge that you will gain from this book is of legacy networking and computer terms. However it will help you with the current technology trends because they are based off these older trends.
