Data communications, computer networks, and open systems

This is a later edition of a comprehensive textbook on how computers exchange information across networks. The revision adds fresh chapters on networks that carry several kinds of service over high-capacity broadband links. An existing chapter on the fiber distributed data interface has been reworked and expanded to bring its coverage up to date. The book also introduces a new discussion of the faster Ethernet standards that raised local network speeds, along with wireless local area networks and a number of other emerging technologies then under consideration. It is aimed at students and professionals who want a thorough grounding in data communications and open systems.
