Many students in computer science and MIS use networking technologies when working on projects but are not responsible for building or designing networks. This book addresses the needs of those students. The authors provide students with an overview of networking technology without the mathematical rigor of textbooks written for networking engineers. Through his teaching experience, Michael Gallo has found that students are often needlessly overwhelmed by the more complex topics intended for network engineering students when all they really need is an understanding of how networks operate. This approach has proven to be successful in class tests. Rather than focus on one technology, the text provides an overview of several technologies, such as Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, and the Internet. The authors compare and contrast these technologies so the students will be able to apply this knowledge to a variety of situations. This approach prepares students for the different networks they may encounter.

Networking Explained is aimed at computer professionals who have an interest in furthering their knowledge of the fundamental principles of networks and networking. It employs an easy to follow question and answer format. The questions are representative of those asked by people who are already in the computing field and are categorized hierarchically by subject so that busy readers who seek answers to specific questions in the heat of combat can find them easily. The answers are intended to give the reader a broad foundation in networking concepts. Accordingly, this text is useful to computer professionals who are interested in either enhancing their capabilities in networking, or are considering changing their professions to the field of networking. The text can also be used as a supplemental source for those who have a working knowledge of computing but lack an understanding of the fundamental concepts and theoretical underpinnings of networks. Finally, the text can be used as a basic instructional book for undergraduate or graduate networking students. Illustrations, tables, and special sidebars are included to help develop further understanding. Question and answer formatInformative sidebars and illustrationsEasy-to-read and follow
