Data Communications and Networking / Behrouz A. Forouzan ; with Catherine Coombs and Sophia Chung Fegan. - 2nd ed. - Boston : McGraw-Hill, c2001. - xxxii, 908 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 841-842) and index.
Basic concepts; the OSI model; signals; encoding and modulating; transmission of digital data - interfaces and modems; transmission media; multiplexing; error detection and correction; data link control; data link protocols; local area networks; metropolitan area networks; switching; point-to-point protocol (PPP); integrated services digital network (ISDN); X.25; frame relay; ATM; SONET/SDH; networking and Internetworking devices; transport layer; upper OSI layers; TCP/IP protocol suite - part I; TCP/IP protocol suite - part II; application layer. Appendices: ASCII code; numbering systems and transformation; representation of binary numbers; Fourier analysis; hardware equipment for error detection; Huffman coding; LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) compression method; next generation of TCP/IP protocol suite - IPv6 and ICMPv6; spanning tree.
This text provides an introduction to the concepts that underlie networking technology. This book is accessible to students without technical backgrounds, and also provides material comprehensive enough to challenge the more experienced student.
