内容简介

Motivates readers with a top-down, layered approach to computer networking

Unique among computer networking texts, the Seventh Edition of the popular Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach builds on the author’s long tradition of teaching this complex subject through a layered approach in a “top-down manner.” The text works its way from the application layer down toward the physical layer, motivating readers by exposing them to important concepts early in their study of networking. Focusing on the Internet and the fundamentally important issues of networking, this text provides an excellent foundation for readers interested in computer science and electrical engineering, without requiring extensive knowledge of programming or mathematics. The Seventh Edition has been updated to reflect the most important and exciting recent advances in networking.

    三颗星,不能更多了。这第七版有很多病句和typo,像是草草写出来骗钱的。书里很多比喻,对于初学者来说还是很形象的。不过整本书涉及面太广,每个具体的知识点讲得不够细。还是得找更加hands-on的书看看更好。06-21
