Computer Networking
This book, like so many, has grown from an undergraduate Networking course. Its current
content is rather more than a single course could comfortably cover, though it is all relevant
for an adventurer into the jungle of networks.
It is somewhat biased towards the Internet and the protocols the Internet uses, namely
TCP/IP. Other network technologies are touched on more to give a flavour of alternatives
and contrasts of approaches than to give a deep insight. In fact, to give a deep insight
into any single aspect of networking is worth a book in its own right, so I have had to
be somewhat selective in the topics covered. Though, in the end, the criterion of choice
for inclusion is simple: this book contains the stuff I find interesting about networking.
The intent is to provide a taster for many concepts, but with enough information for the
reader to follow up and deepen their understanding. For the details, please refer to the
various RFCs and standards documents that are listed in the margins. RFC 2555
As is traditional, each chapter ends with some exercises. What is less traditional is
their form: they are less of the ‘write down everything you know’, but more ‘go and try
this’. You are expected to find out things for yourself and experiment! You may need to
read up and learn other things before you can tackle the problems directly: this is all part
of the exercise. The best way of learning this kind of material is by direct experience.
And quite often there might not be a single answer, or even a ‘right’ answer.
