Summary

This book presents a general introduction to data communications and networking through a logical approach that favors broad understanding, usefulness, and clarity over complex technology. Author Terry Pardoe carefully balances the ?hows? of implementation and the ?whys? of specific technologies through a unique, need-to-know perspective that succinctly conveys the essentials of network communications without getting bogged down by technical detail or complex mathematics. All-in-one coverage progresses from basic transmission to complex networking, with a logical thread between chapters that is defined by use of the ISO/OSI interconnection model. Network Communications effectively fills the gap between detailed, more technical materials and the business-oriented approaches to network communications.
