For courses in networking/communications.

Motivate your students with a top-down, layered approach to computer networking

Computer Networking builds on the authors' long tradition of teaching this complex subject in a “top-down manner.” The authors proceed from the application layer toward the physical layer, motivating students by presenting important concepts early in their study of networking. Focusing on the fundamental issues of networking, the text provides an excellent foundation without requiring extensive prior knowledge of programming or math.

The 8th Edition has been updated to reflect recent advances such as software-defined networking (SDN) and the adoption of 4G/5G networks.
