Computer Networks

In this fast pace of computer world where almost everyday something new is introduced in this faculty of studies, learning computer and obtaining further knowledge in this subject has become an essential need for everyone. Considering this crucial aspect in view, an endeavor has been made to bring out such an ideal book on computer science that can benefit the students and teachers alike. And thus, the book titled, Computer Networks has been brought out to meet their requirements.

Examining a wide range of techniques, technologies and systems utilized in data communications and computer networks, Computer Networks has been prepared to address various data transmission methods used in conveying data between physically distant locations. Several types of network are brought into consideration that may interconnect thousands of users on both permanent as well as temporary, switched basis. To execute successful communication, a set of rules and procedures has been developed, many of which are embodied in internationally accepted standards.

The organized material i.e. the outcome of this book is an effort to provide a reasonable magnitude of balance between rigor, clarity of presentation while keeping the length of the book at manageable level. Consisting of eight chapters, its prime objective is to provide an introduction to different computer network fundamentals and to develop a foundation that can be utilized as the basis for research and further studies in this sphere.
