Elements of Computer Networking

Networking and the Internet touch our lives in untold ways every day. From connecting our computers together at home and surfing the net at high speeds to editing and sharing digital music and video, computer networking has become both ubiquitous and indispensable. Computer Networking continues with an early emphasis on application-layer paradigms and application programming interfaces (the top layer), encouraging a hands-on experience with protocols and networking concepts, before working down the protocol stack to more abstract layers.In total, there are 17 chapters in this book, and they include The Application Layer, The Transport Layer, The Physical Layer, The Data Link Layer, The Medium Access Control Sublayer, and The Network Security. Narasimha style of structured teaching helps the readers to grasp concepts easily. He begins by explaining the physical layer of computer hardware, networking, and transmission systems, after which he tackles advanced concepts pertaining to network applications.This book has become the dominant book for this course because of the authors’ reputations, the precision of explanation, the quality of the art program, and the value of their own supplements.Salient Features of Book:All the concepts are discussed in a lucid, easy to understand manner. A reader without any basic knowledge in computers can comfortably follow this book. Helps to build logic in the students which becomes stepping stone for understanding computer networking protocols.Interview questions collected from the actual interviews of various Software companies (and past compititive examinations like GATE) will help the students to be successful in their campus interviews. Hundreds of solved problems help the students of various universities do well in their examinations like B.C.A, B.Sc, M.Sc, M.C.A, B.E, B.Tech, M.Tech, etc. Works like a handy reference to the Software professionals.

He was a software developer who has been both interviewer and interviewee over his long career. Most recently he worked for Amazon Corporation, IBM labs, Mentor Graphics, and Microsoft. He filed patents which are under processing. He authored the following books which got translated to international languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korea and Taiwan. Also, around 58 international universities were using these books as reference for academic courses.Elements of Computer NetworkingData Structures and Algorithms Made EasyData Structures and Algorithms Made Easy in JavaData Structures and Algorithms Made Easy for GATEPeeling Design PatternsIT Interview QuestionsCoding Interview QuestionsNarasimha held M.Tech. in computer science from IIT, Bombay, after finishing his B.Tech. from JNT university.
