<br/><br/> A text on networking theory and practice, providing information on general networking concepts, routing algorithms and protocols, addressing, and mechanics of bridges, routers, switches, and hubs. Describes all major network algorithms and protocols in use today, and explores engineering trade-offs that each different approach represents. Includes chapter homework problems and a glossary. This second edition is expanded to cover recent developments such as VLANs, Fast Ethernet, and AppleTalk. The author is a Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems, Inc., and holds some 50 patents
