DESCRIPTION:
Visit Stallings Companion Website at williamstallings/HsNet2eml for student and instructor resources and his Computer Science Student Resource site williamstallings. The central theme of the book is the need to carry large volumes of traffic with different QoS requirements over networks operating at very high data rates. High-speed networks dominate both the local area network (LAN) and wide-area network (WAN) markets because of the increased use of multimedia applications and the World Wide Web, and other high-volume needs of users. This book provides a comprehensive, integrated and up-to-date survey of the key issues of high speed TCP/IP networks, the technology that dominates the field of high-speed networking. (Registration required) Supplements Include: Solutions Manual, Figures, Tables, Images, and other miscellaneous documents.. The author discuses a wide range of design issues related to high-speed networks, including congestion control, provision of different levels of quality of service (QoS), resource reservation, unicast and multicast routing, and multimedia compression. For courses in network proto
Mostly superficial coverage of the material I found this book mostly frustrating. Although it did contain some information that I've never encountered anywhere else (such as MPLS and diffserv), the writing style was so off-putting that it was hard to get through the material. The author seems to go out of his way, for example, to use the word "data" as a plural just to show off that he knows that data is a plural word. The sentence "the briefest of summaries if provided forthwith" . Worst book ever A Customer If you already have a full understanding of networks and the algorithms associated with it, this is a good reference, maybe.however if you are looking to learn about these topics this is not the book for you.it is poorly written, with horrible examples which leave you wondering what exactly he is trying to explain. he jumps from topic to topic, not explaining some terms till many pages later. even after reading the chapter, trying to appl. "Excellent Book" according to Sachin Shetty. If you want to learn about networks(theory) there is no one else better than William Stallings. Excellent book. All topics well covered especially the one on TCP/IP. A good reference book for a networking guy.Also the author takes you into the basics of socket programming but its only the basics.If you want to delve into this I suggest the one from Richard Stevens
In this second edition, this award-winning and best-selling author steps up to the leading edge of integrated coverage of key issues in the design of high-speed TCP/IP and ATM networks to include the following topics: Unified coverage of integrated and differentiated services.Up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of TCP performance.Thorough coverage of next-generation Internet protocols including (RSVP), (MPLS), (RTP), and the use of Ipv6.Unified treatment of congestion in data networks; packet-switching, frame relay, ATM networks, and IP-based internets.Broad and detailed coverage of routing, unicast, and multicast.Comprehensive coverage of ATM; basic technology and the newest traffic control standards.Solid, easy-to-absorb mathematical background enabling understanding of the issues related to high-speed network performance and design.Up-to-date treatment of gigabit Ethernet.The first treatment of self-similar traffic for performance assessment in a text
