Internet Book, The: Everything You Need to Know About Computer Networking and How the Internet Works, 4/e utilizes a non-technical perspective to explain the technology of how computers communicate, what the Internet is, how the Internet works, and what the Internet can do for people. This book works to fully connect readers to the “big picture” by presenting a solid overview of networking and the Internet, rather than burying them with details. Comer assumes no prior background in computer networking or the Internet. Introduces computer communication system concepts and technolog

This best-selling, conceptual introduction to TCP/IP internetworking protocols interweaves a clear discussion of fundamentals with the latest technologies. Leading author Doug Comer covers layering and shows how all protocols in the TCP/IP suite fit into the five-layer model. With a new focus on CIDR addressing, this revision addresses MPLS and IP switching technology, traffic scheduling, VOIP, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), and Selective ACKnowledgement (SACK). Includes coverage of Voice and Video Over IP (RTP), IP coverage, a discussion of routing architectures, examination of In

Now more than ever, there is a big opportunity for research leading to automated systems that manage networks. In this innovative new book, Comer examines possibilities for the future, including ways to build software that automates management tasks. KEY TOPICS: Describes existing tools, technologies, platforms, and paradigms for network management. Covers the basics and define the scope of the problem. Aims to define terminology, but refers to standard network technologies and protocols (e.g. Ethernet, DSL/cable modem, TCP, IP, DHCP, and DNS) without giving details. Assumes a basic understan

This new primer offers readers an introduction to the fundamental concepts of computer architecture, providing a solid foundation for constructing programs that are more efficient and less prone to errors. Rather than focusing on engineering details, the guide approaches basic architectural concepts from the view of the programmer. Educates programmers on the three essential areas of architecture: processors, memories, and I/O systems, helping them to improve program efficiency by understanding the consequences of programming choices and allowing them to pinpoint sources of bugs. Emphasizes

This volume answers the question "How does one use TCP/IP?"—focusing on the client-server paradigm, and examining algorithms for both the client and server components of a distributed program. KEY TOPICS: It presents an implementation that illustrates each design and discusses techniques like application-level gateways and tunneling. The book also reviews several standard application protocols and uses them to illustrate the algorithms and implementation techniques.

“Dr. Comer’s work [is] thoughtful and necessary. It is not going too far to say that our schools, and our children, would be lost without him.”—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., from the forewordThe call-to-arms to “leave no child behind” in America has become popularly associated with the Bush administration’s education plan—a plan that actually diverges greatly from the ideals of the Children’s Defense Fund, which originated the concept. Here, in a bold and engaging new book, Dr. James Comer reclaims this now-famous exhortation as a tool for posit
