    Salient Features

    1. A modular format—This structure breaks this massive subject into comprehensible parts, thus making learning easier for students.
    2. Unifying principles—The text repeatedly emphasizes such principles as multiplexing, flow control, and error control, and contrasts their application in specific areas of technology. This enables students to understand how the same protocol design principles are applied at different levels of the protocol architecture.
    3. Standards—A comprehensive discussion of the current status and future direction of related technology standards helps students understand the central role of standards in network and protocol design.
    4. More than 250 homework problems—Problems ranging in difficulty give students the opportunity to test their comprehension of concepts.
    5. Strong pedagogical support—The liberal use of figures and tables; glossary; recommended reading list and Websites; and a bibliography provide students with convenient study tools."
