Computer Networks: A Systems Approach Vol 2 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781787154322)

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).
