Computer Networks A Systems Approach Vol 2

Advanced Networking Protocols: Dive into advanced networking protocols and technologies, including multi-protocol label switching (MPLS), border gateway protocol (BGP), IPv6, virtual private networks (VPNs), and advanced transport layer protocols. The volume provides in-depth coverage of these protocols' design, operation, and implementation.Network Security and Cryptography: Explore comprehensive topics on network security, including cryptographic techniques, secure communication protocols (e.g., SSL/TLS, IPsec), firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and the principles of secure network design. The volume addresses contemporary security challenges and best practices for safeguarding network infrastructure.Wireless and Mobile Networks: Cover the concepts and technologies behind wireless and mobile networks, including Wi-Fi, cellular networks (e.g., LTE, 5G), and mobile IP. The volume explores the challenges and solutions related to mobility, handoff, interference management, and spectrum allocation in wireless communications.Network Management and Monitoring: Examine network management frameworks, tools, and protocols, including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), network monitoring, fault management, and performance monitoring. The volume also addresses automation in network management, with a focus on software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV).
