Description
The rapid expansion in networked computer systems in the 1980s and 1990s has meant an increasing demand for practical texts on computer communications. This book provides an introduction to networking at the non-specialist level. It describes some of the practical problems encountered in building distributed computer systems and in using wide and local area networks. The book introduces the basic concepts by studying a hypothetical networked computer system.
