"A systems approach focused on the Internet promotes an enduring, practical understanding of networks and their building blocks. Each chapter begins with a problem statement that frames the discussion to follow. The authors then develop complete solutions, illustrate them with real-world examples - including specific protocol references and C code - and address topical issues debated throughout the networking community.". "The result? Readers learn the why of network design - not just the facts surrounding current systems but the principles at work in their application and evolution."--BOOK JACKET.
