Tanenbaum takes a structured approach to explaining how networks
work from the inside out. He starts with an explanation of the
physical layer of networking, computer hardware and transmission
systems; then works his way up to network applications. Tanenbaum's
in-depth application coverage includes email; the domain name
system; the World Wide Web (both client- and server-side); and
multimedia (including voice over IP, Internet radio video on
demand, video conferencing, and streaming media. Each chapter
follows a consistent approach: Tanenbaum presents key principles,
then illustrates them utilizing real-world example networks that
run through the entire book—the Internet, and wireless
networks, including Wireless LANs, broadband wireless and
Bluetooth. The Fifth Edition includes a chapter devoted exclusively
to network security. The textbook is supplemented by a Solutions
Manual, as well as a Website containing PowerPoint slides, art in
various forms, and other tools for instruction, including a
protocol simulator whereby students can develop and test their own
network protocols.
