Preface
Networking is a fascinating field. Networking involves communication theory, algorithms, technology and diverse environments and situations in an enticing mix. This introductory book on networking technology is meant to convey some of the excitement and variety that may be found in this area. The qualitative coverage of this book spans the smallest possible networks that are implemented on integrated circuit chips to the largest networks conceived that cover the solar system. There is much in between these two extremes. This book is intended to provide a technology overview in undergraduate and graduate networking courses where it may be used in conjunction with more algorithm-mathematical-oriented texts. It will also be of interest to the individual engineer, computer scientist or information technology professional. I would note that this book grew out of my 2011 Springer brief book, Basics of Computer Networking. I have learned a great deal about networking by teaching networking courses at Stony Brook. I would like to thank a number of people for suggestions on coverage including Tricia Chigan, Victor Fro
