Data Communications and Networking, the 6th edition, teaches the principles of networking using the TCP/IP protocol suite. It employs a bottom-up approach where each layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite is built on the services provided by the layer below. This edition has undergone a major restructuring to reduce the number of chapters and focus on the organization of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It concludes with three chapters that explore multimedia, network management, and cryptography/network security. Technologies related to data communications and networking are among the fastest-growing in our culture today, and there is no better guide to this rapidly expanding field than Data Communications and Networking.
