"To design future networks that are worthy of society's trust, we must put the 'discipline' of computer networking on a much stronger foundation. This book rises above the considerable minutiae of today's networking technologies to emphasize the long-standing mathematical underpinnings of the field." --Jennifer Rexford, professor of computer science, Princeton University "This book is exactly the one I have been waiting for the last couple of years.
Computer networks rely on many forms of abstraction to scale--indeed, to operate at all. While at least some of this abstraction is visible, such as route aggregation and flooding domain boundary summarization, much of it is hidden in unexpected places, such as in the logical construction of a network device, in the operation of BGP route reflectors, and in the data plane protocol stack.
Introduction to Networks Companion Guide is the official supplemental textbook for the Introduction to Networks course in the Cisco‹¨« Networking Academy‹¨« CCNA‹¨« Routing and Switching curriculum. The course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and computer networks. The principles of IP addressing and fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum.
