Product Description
Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, 8th Edition by James F. Kurose & Keith W. Ross (Pearson)
The world’s most widely used computer networking textbook returns in its fully updated 8th Edition. Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach by James F. Kurose and Keith W. Ross has been the definitive guide to computer networking for students and professionals around the world for over two decades — and this latest edition is the most comprehensive and current yet.
True to its name, the book takes a top-down approach to networking — beginning with the application layer (the internet as users experience it) and working down through the transport, network, link, and physical layers. This approach makes complex networking concepts accessible and intuitive, grounding abstract theory in real-world applications that students already use every day.
The 8th Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments in networking, including expanded coverage of software-defined networking (SDN), data centre networking, wireless and mobile networks, and network security.
Key Topics Covered
- Application layer: HTTP, DNS, SMTP, P2P, and socket programming
- Transport layer: TCP, UDP, reliable data transfer, and congestion control
- Network layer: IP, routing algorithms, OSPF, BGP, and IPv6
- Link layer: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, MAC protocols, and ARP
- Wireless and mobile networks: 4G, 5G, and mobility management
- Network security: cryptography, firewalls, SSL/TLS, and intrusion detection
- Software-defined networking (SDN) and data centre networking
