This textbook is very different than the other computer networking books that are currently available. Perhaps the most unique and innovative feature of this textbook is that it is online and accessible through a Web browser. I believe that online format has several things going for it.
First, an online text can be accessed from any browser in the world, so a student can gain access to the book at anytime from anyplace. Second, as all of us Internet enthusiasts know, much of the best material describing the intricacies of the Internet is in the Internet itself.
Another unusual feature of the text is its Internet focus. Most of the existing textbooks begin with a
broader perspective and address the Internet as just as one of many computer network technologies. We
instead put Internet protocols in the spotlight, and use the Internet protocols as motivation for studying
some of the more fundamental computer networking concepts.
I have found that modern-day students in computer science and electrical engineering, being intensive users of the Internet, are enormously curious about what is under the hood of the Internet. Thus, it is easy to get students excited about computer networking when using the Internet as your guiding vehicle. A second reason for the Internet focus is that in recent years computer networking has become synonymous with the Internet. T
his wasn't the case five-to-ten years ago, when there was a lot of talk about ATM LANs and applications direclty interfacing with ATM (without passing through TCP/IP). I have now reached the point where just
about all data traffic is carried over the Internet or intranets.
Furthermore, streaming audio and video have recently become commonplace in the Internet, and someday telephony may be too. Because our book has an Internet focus, it is organized around a five-layer Internet architecture rather than around the more traditional seven-layer OSI architecture.
