Network expansion and repair. Edition II

Even if you are not a computer geek (officially referred to as a network engineer), the book "Network Expansion and Repair - Edition II" discusses complex issues in a way that does not cause you to reach for aspirin or a revolver.

In the second edition of this classic web guide, complicated network topologies and protocols are discussed, as well as ways to track and correct errors that expose you or your business to significant costs. Accurate explanations supported by the examples allow you to learn about the protocols' operation, architecture and equipment used in networks and how to repair them when they stop working.
