Computer Networks and the Internet

Beschreibung

This textbook provides enough background into the inner workings of the Internet to allow a novice to understand how the various protocols on the Internet work together to accomplish simple tasks, such as a search. By building an Internet with all the various services a person uses every day, one will gain an appreciation not only of the work that goes on unseen, but also of the choices made by designers to make life easier for the user.
Each chapter consists of background information on a specific topic or Internet service, and where appropriate a final section on how to configure a Raspberry Pi to provide that service.
While mainly meant as an undergraduate textbook for a course on networking or Internet protocols and services, it can also be used by anyone interested in the Internet as a step–by–step guide to building one's own Intranet, or as a reference guide as to how things work on the global Internet

The text makes a complex subject more approachable, and can work as a companion to a laboratory project on building a fully functional Internet using inexpensive Raspberry Pis This hands-on approach is beneficial to students who prefer a more experiential learning style Can be used to build an Internet of Linux boxes, for those with access to a number of “white box” computers running Linux An Instructor's Manual and Solutions Manual are available to instructors, as well as software and configuration files in order to set up the hands-on project Request lecturer material: sn.pub/lecturer-material

“The detailed coverage of networking topics together with practical hands-on illustrations of the principles using the Raspberry Pi laboratory network make this an excellent candidate for a course textbook. In addition, the detailed table of contents, good index, and extensive list of references also make it useful for reference … . If you want just one book in your technical library to cover the Internet and networking technology, then this is an ideal candidate.” (David B. Henderson, Computing Reviews, August 17, 2021)
