A big THANKS to my professors, colleagues, and students all over the world.

Welcome to the seventh edition of Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach. Since the publication of the first edition 16 years ago, our book has been adopted for use at many hundreds of colleges and universities, translated into 14 languages, and used by over one hundred thousand students and practitioners worldwide. Weve heard from many of these readers and have been overwhelmed by the positive response.

We think one important reason for this success has been that our book continues to offer a fresh and timely approach to computer networking instruction. Weve made changes in this seventh edition, but weve also kept unchanged what we believe (and the instructors and students who have used our book have confirmed) to be the most important aspects of this book: its top-down approach, its focus on the Internet and a modern treatment of computer networking, its attention to both principles and practice, and its accessible style and approach toward learning about computer networking. Nevertheless, the seventh edition has been revised and updated substantially.
