Preface

Data communications and networking may be the fastest growing technologies in our culture today. One of the ramifications of that growth is a dramatic increase in the number of professions where an understanding of these technologies is essential for success— and a proportionate increase in the number and types of students taking courses to learn about them.

Features of the Book
Several features of this text are designed to make it particularly easy for students to understand data communications and networking. Structure We have used the five-layer Internet model as the framework for the text not only because a thorough understanding of the model is essential to understanding most current networking theory but also because it is based on a structure of interdependencies: Each layer builds upon the layer beneath it and supports the layer above it. In the same way, each concept introduced in our text builds upon the concepts examined in the previous sections. The Internet model was chosen because it is a protocol that is fully implemented. This text is designed for students with little or no background in telecommunications or data communications. For this reason, we use a bottom-up approach. With this approach, students learn first about data communications (lower layers) before learning about networking (upper layers). Visual Approach The book presents highly technical subject matter without complex formulas by using a balance of text and figures. More than 700 figures accompanying the text provide a visual and intuitive opportunity for understanding the material. Figures are particularly important in explaining networking concepts, which are based on connections and transmission. Both of these ideas are easy to grasp visually. Highlighted Points We emphasize important concepts in highlighted boxes for quick reference and immediate attention. xxix for67757_fm.fm Page xxx Monday, January 9, 2006 12:10 PM

PREFACE

Examples and Applications When appropriate, we have selected examples to reflect true-to-life situations. For example, in Chapter 6 we have shown several cases of telecommunications in current telephone networks. Recommended Reading Each chapter includes a list of books and sites that can be used for further reading. Key Terms Each chapter includes a list of key terms for the student. Summary Each chapter ends with a summary of the material covered in that chapter. The summary provides a brief overview of all the important points in the chapter. Practice Set Each chapter includes a practice set designed to reinforce and apply salient concepts. It consists of three parts: review questions, exercises, and research activities (only for appropriate chapters). Review questions are intended to test the student 's first-level understanding of the material presented in the chapter. Exercises require deeper understanding of the material. Research activities are designed to create motivation for further study. Appendixes The appendixes are intended to provide quick reference material or a review of materials needed to understand the concepts discussed in the book. Glossary and Acronyms The book contains an extensive glossary and a list of acronyms.

Contents
The book is divided into seven parts. The first part is an overview; the last part concerns network security. The middle five parts are designed to represent the five layers of the Internet model. The following summarizes the contents of each part. Part One: Overview The first part gives a general overview of data communications and networking. Chapter 1 covers introductory concepts needed for the rest of the book. Chapter 2 introduces the Internet model. Part Two: Physical Layer The second part is a discussion of the physical layer of the Internet model. Chapters 3 to 6 discuss telecommunication aspects of the physical layer. Chapter 7 introduces the transmission media, which, although not part of the physical layer, is controlled by it. Chapter 8 is devoted to switching, which can be used in several layers. Chapter 9 shows how two public networks, telephone and cable TV, can be used for data transfer.

PREFACE

Part Three: Data Link Layer The third part is devoted to the discussion of the data link layer of the Internet model. Chapter 10 covers error detection and correction. Chapters 11, 12 discuss issues related to data link control. Chapters 13 through 16 deal with LANs. Chapters 17 and 18 are about WANs. LANs and WANs are examples of networks operating in the first two layers of the Internet model. Part Four: Network Layer The fourth part is devoted to the discussion of the network layer of the Internet model. Chapter 19 covers IP addresses. Chapters 20 and 21 are devoted to the network layer protocols such as IP, ARP, ICMP, and IGMP. Chapter 22 discusses delivery, forwarding, and routing of packets in the Internet. Part Five: Transport Layer The fifth part is devoted to the discussion of the transport layer of the Internet model. Chapter 23 gives an overview of the transport layer and discusses the services and duties of this layer. It also introduces three transport-layer protocols: UDP, TCP, and SCTP. Chapter 24 discusses congestion control and quality of service, two issues related to the transport layer and the previous two layers. Part Six: Application Layer The sixth part is devoted to the discussion of the application layer of the Internet model. Chapter 25 is about DNS, the application program that is used by other application programs to map application layer addresses to network layer addresses. Chapter 26 to 29 discuss some common applications protocols in the Internet. Part Seven: Security The seventh part is a discussion of security. It serves as a prelude to further study in this subject. Chapter 30 briefly discusses cryptography. Chapter 31 introduces security aspects. Chapter 32 shows how different security aspects can be applied to three layers of the Internet model.

Online Learning Center
The McGraw-Hill Online Learning Center contains much additional material. Available at www.mhhe.com/forouzan. As students read through Data Communications and Networking, they can go online to take self-grading quizzes. They can also access lecture materials such as PowerPoint slides, and get additional review from animated figures from the book. Selected solutions are also available over the Web. The solutions to odd-numbered problems are provided to students, and instructors can use a password to access the complete set of solutions. Additionally, McGraw-Hill makes it easy to create a website for your networking course with an exclusive McGraw-Hill product called PageOut. It requires no prior knowledge of HTML, no long hours, and no design skills on your part. Instead, PageOut offers a series of templates. Simply fill them with your course information and

    Interracial relationships or Miscegenation is a mixture of races; especially in marriage, cohabitation, or sexual relations between a white person and someone of another race (Webster-Merriam). For people of the Millennial generation (those born between 1977 and 2000) interracial dating is not something that is looked down upon nor it is something that is a major concern. But that was not always the case for the Baby Boomer generation (those born between 1946 and 1964). Baby Boomers grew up in an era where interracial relationships were still illegal. It wasn’t until 1967 that the U.S Supreme court ruled laws against miscegenation unconstitutional (Schripper). For someone born in the 1980’s like myself, I find it very difficult to image the possibility of going to jail simply for dating someone with different colored skin. The idea of interracial dating being that taboo and illegal is hard to imagine for someone like such as myself living in such a diverse city like Los Angeles. But is interracial dating still taboo to some? Or has the notion of interracial dating evolved like our societies and culture have over time?…
