Course Description: This module is the second level module of the curricula related to the computer
network field that provides in depth coverage of some basic topics taught in the first level course
(750341) such as layered communication architecture, routing algorithms, congestion control …

The Second Edition of this best-selling text continues to answer the question," How do
computer networks and internets operate?" Douglas Comer, a leading computer networking
authority, provides a self-contained tour from the lowest levels of data transmission wiring …

Computer networks are inherently social networks, linking people, organizations, and
knowledge. They are social institutions that should not be studied in isolation but as
integrated into everyday lives. The proliferation of computer networks has facilitated a …

When computer networks link people as well as machines, they become social networks.
Such computer-supported social networks (CSSNs) are becoming important bases of virtual
communities, computer-supported cooperative work, and telework. Computer-mediated …

Computer Networks, Fourth Edition, continues to provide an enduring, practical
understanding of networks and their building blocks through rich, example-based
instruction. This expanded and completely updated edition covers the why of network …

Ethernet is a branching broadcast communication system for carrying digital data packets
among locally distributed computing stations. The packet transport mechanism provided by
Ethernet has been used to build systems which can be viewed as either local computer  …

When using authentication based on cryptography, an attacker listening to the network gains
no information that would enable it to falsely claim another's identity. Kerberos is the most
commonly used example of this type of authentication technology. The authors concentrate …

Computer Networks and Open Systems: An Application Development Perspective covers
principles, theory, and techniques of networks and open systems from a practical
perspective, using real system and network applications as its basis. The selection of topics …

Distributed loop computer networks are extensions of the ring networks and are widely used
in the design and implementation of local area networks and parallel processing
architectures. We give a survey of recent results on this class of interconnection networks …

In network design, the gap between theory and practice is woefully broad. This book
narrows it, comprehensively and critically examining current network design models and
methods. You will learn where mathematical modeling and algorithmic optimization have …
