Distribution of data on the Internet

The book contains a discussion of issues related to the transmission of data in the modern Internet. It describes the basics of Internet network operation, IP protocol version 4 and 6, transport protocols with particular consideration of TCP protocol and multicast protocols and presents the way of functioning of the most important services (applications) used for data transmission in the Internet (like WWW, e-mail, services p2P).
The book is intended for students of the faculties of Electronics and Telecommunications and Informatics of technical colleges and all those interested in the issues of the modern Internet.
