PREFACE

W elcome to the sixth edition of Data Communications and Networking with TCP/IP Protocol Suite . We are living in an information age, and information is distributed faster that ever using the Internet, which works based on the topics discussed in this book.

Features

Although the main goal of this book is to teach the principles of networking, it is designed to teach these principles using the following features:

TCP/IP Protocol Suite

This book is designed to teach the principles of networking by using the TCP/IP protocol suite. Teaching these principles using protocol layering is beneficial because these principles are repeated and better understood in relation to each layer. For example, addressing is an issue that is applied to several layers of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Another example is framing and packetizing , which is repeated in several layers, but each layer treats the principle differently.

Bottom-Up Approach

This book uses a bottom-up approach. Each layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite is built on the services provided by the layer below. We learn how bits are moving at the physical layer (first layer) before learning how some programs exchange messages at the application layer (fifth layer).

Organization

The book is made up of 13 chapters, six appendices, a list of references, and a glossary.

This chapter is an introduction to Data Communications and Networking with TCP/IP Protocol Suite . It defines the concept of protocol layering and gives a brief description of the TCP/IP protocol suite and the OSI model.

This chapter describes the first layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite: the physical layer. It explains the relationship between data and signals and describes both analog and digital signals. It also discusses multiplexing to benefit from the available bandwidth. Finally, it goes below the physical layer and discusses the transmission media.

This chapter discusses the data-link layer, the second layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It shows that the data-link layer is made up of two sublayers: medial link control and data link control. It also discusses link-layer addressing.

This chapter discusses the local area networks (LANs) that use only the first two layers of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It describes both wired LANs (Ethernet) and wireless LANs (WiFi and Bluetooth).

This chapter discusses the wide area networks (WANs) that also use only the first two layers of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It describes several WANs, including the telephone network, cable network, cellular telephony, and satellite networks.

This chapter discusses the connecting devices such as hubs, link-layer switches, and routers. It also describes virtual LANs.

This chapter discuses the first duty of the network layer: data transfer. It explains the service in this duty such as packetizing, routing, error control, flow control, congestion control, and quality of services. It then describes the concept of packet switching. It also describe network-layer performance. The main goal is to introduce the two versions of the network layer in the Internet: IPv4 and IPv6.

This chapter discusses the second duty of the network layer: routing of packets. It discusses unicast routing protocols such as distance vector routing, link-state routing, and path-vector routing. It also discuss multicast routing and protocols.

This chapter discusses the transport layer. It first describes the services expected from a transfer-layer protocol. It then describes a simple transport layer protocol UDP. Finally, it describes a more sophisticated protocol TCP. Finally, it describes SCTP, a transport-layer protocol that uses association.

This chapter discusses the application layer, the highest level in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It shows how this layer uses client/server programs. It then introduces some applications such as the Web, file transfer, and e-mail. Finally, the chapter discusses some peer-to-peer applications. It finally shows how application programs can be created using the C-language.

This chapter discusses multimedia. It shows how compression is used in multimedia. It then defines the elements of multimedia such as text, image, video, and audio. It then describes how multimedia is used in the Internet.

This chapter introduces network management and discusses five general areas used in network management. It also defines the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) that is used in the Internet, which is based on Simple Management Information (SMI).

This chapter briefly discusses the concept of security goals including confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It then describes how these goals can be achieved using message integrity, message authentication, digital signature, and entity authentication. The chapter then describes how these goals can be achieved using security in the transport layer and application layer.

This appendix discusses Unicode, the coding system used in communication.

This appendix discusses the positional numbering system and how the system uses numbers in different bases.

This appendix discusses mark-up languages such as HTML, CSS, XML, and XSL, which are used in data communications and networking.

This appendix gives a touch of probability that can be useful in understanding some networking protocols.

This appendix discusses checksum.
