Schaum's Outline of Computer Networking

Schaum's Outline of Computer Networking introduces the underlying concepts, principles, and terminology of computer networks. Covering the full scope of material taught in computer networking courses, this problem-solved approach presents the different components of a network and shows how these components fit together as well as explaining the varied harmonizing functions needed for the interconnection of many heterogeneous computer networks.

Ed Tittel is a 20-year computing industry veteran who also teaches networking and Web topics for Austin Community College and at Interop.
