Computer Networking: Principles, Protocols, and PracticeThis textbook came from a frustration of its main author. Many authors chose to write a textbook because there
are no textbooks in their field or because they are not satisfied with the existing textbooks. This frustration
has produced several excellent textbooks in the networking community. At a time when networking textbooks
were mainly theoretical, Douglas Comer chose to write a textbook entirely focused on the TCP/IP protocol suite, a difficult choice at that time. He later extended his textbook by describing a complete TCP/IP
implementation, adding practical considerations to the theoretical descriptions in. Richard Stevens
approached the Internet like an explorer and explained the operation of protocols by looking at all the packets
that were exchanged on the wire. Jim Kurose and Keith Ross reinvented the networking textbooks
by starting from the applications that the students use and later explained the Internet protocols by removing one
layer after the other. |
