Description
The object of this text is to cover most of the currently relevant areas of data communications and networks. These include: communications protocols (especially TCP/IP); networking (especially in Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI and ATM); networking operating systems (especially in Windows NT, Novell NetWare); communications programs (especially in serial communications, parallel communications and TCP/IP); and computer hardware (especially in PC hardware, serial communications and parallel communication). The book thus splits into 15 different areas: general data compression; video, images and sound; error coding and encryption; TCP/IP, WWW, Internets and Intranets; Electronic Mail; HTML; Java; communication programs; network operating systems; LANs/WANs; serial communications; parallel communications; local communications; routing and protocols; and cables and connectors.
