About the Book

This text, partially available online and accessible through any Web browser, puts Internet protocols in the spotlight in its coverage of computer network technologies, and uses this as motivation for studying some of the more fundamental computer networking concepts. It takes a top-down approach, first exposing students to a concrete application before discussing the network services needed to support these applications. This allows students to develop an intuitive feel for what protocols are in the context of network applications (e.g., the Web, ATM, and e-mail) which they use daily. The book also contains material on application programming development, which allows students to write actual application-level programs and gain first-hand experience in socket programming. Features *Includes many interactive features, such as direct access to the Traceroute program, direct access to search engines for Internet Drafts, Java applets that animate difficult concepts, and (in the near future) direct access to streaming audio *Internet focus motivates students to learn more about other network technologies *Discusses not only what networks can do, but also the principles behind them *Well-suited for asynchronous online courses 0201477114B04062001

From 1985 to December 1997, Keith Ross was with the University of Pennsylvania, Department of Systems Engineering, as Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor. He has published over 40 papers in leading journals and has published a book on multiservice loss models for broadband telecommunication networks. Along with Jim Kurose, he is currently writing an online multimedia textbook on Internet protocols and data networks. He is or has been on the following editorial boards: Queuing Systems, Theory and Applications; Probability in the Engineering and Information Sciences; Operations Research; Telecommunications Systems; and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. He was the Program Chairman of the 1995 INFORMS Telecommunications Conference. He received his MS from Columbia University (1981) in Electrical Engineering , and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan (1985) in Computer, Information and Control Engineering. Jim Kurose received a B.A. degree in physics from Wesleyan University in 1978 and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from Columbia University in 1980 and 1984, respectively. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts, where he is also co-director of the Networking Research Laboratory of the Multimedia Systems Laboratory. He is currently serving a term as Chairman of the Department of Computer Science. Professor Kurose was a Visiting Scientist at IBM Research during the 1990/91 academic year, and at INRIA and at EURECOM, both in Sophia Antipolis, France, during the 1997/98 academic year. His research interests include real-time and multimedia communication, network and operating system support for servers, and modeling and performance evaluation. Dr. Kurose is the past Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Communications and of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. He has been active in the program committees for IEEE Infocom, ACM SIGCOMM, and ACM SIGMETRICS conferences for a number of years. He is the six-time recipient of the Outstanding Teacher Award from the National Technological University (NTU), the recipient of the Outstanding Teacher Award from the College of Science and Natural Mathematics at the University of Massachusetts, and the recipient of the 1996 Outstanding Teaching Award of the Northeast Association of Graduate Schools. He has been the recipient of a GE Fellowship, IBM Faculty Development Award, and a Lilly Teaching Fellowship. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, and a member of ACM, Phi Beta Kappa, Eta Kappa Nu, and Sigma Xi. He is currently working on an on-line introductory networking textbook, "Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach Featuring the Internet," with Keith Ross. The book is available on-line, and is to be published by Addison-Wesley Longman in 2000. 0201477114AB04062001
