Computer Networks. Compendium. Edition II

• Topologies and carriers
• Wireless networks
• Network services and protocols
• Network administration
• Security in networks

Computer networks are an extremely large topic discussed in dozens of publications. Some talk about protocols, other about services, and others about network administration, many of which contain a huge amount of theoretical information, often simply unnecessary in everyday work. A typical network administrator should have comprehensive practical knowledge in each of these areas to efficiently solve emerging problems. For a person dealing with computer networks, the best textbook is one in which all the necessary practical knowledge is gathered.

The book "Computer Networks: Compendium, Issue II" is just such a textbook. The second edition of this bestseller contains all the information that allows you to quickly prepare yourself for the role of network administrator. There is a dose of theoretical knowledge necessary to understand the principles of the functioning of computer networks, but the main part of the book is a description of network mechanisms, how to configure them and respond to the occurring failures. This book can also serve as a source of knowledge about network parameters.
