Purchase options and add-ons

Appropriate for Computer Networking or Introduction to Networking courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, CIS, MIS, and Business Departments.

Tanenbaum takes a structured approach to explaining how networks work from the inside out. He starts with an explanation of the physical layer of networking, computer hardware and transmission systems; then works his way up to network applications. Tanenbaum's in-depth application coverage includes email; the domain name system; the World Wide Web (both client- and server-side); and multimedia (including voice over IP, Internet radio video on demand, video conferencing, and streaming media. Each chapter follows a consistent approach.

Tanenbaum presents key principles, then illustrates them utilising real-world example networks that run through the entire book―the Internet, and wireless networks, including Wireless LANs, broadband wireless and Bluetooth. The Fifth Edition includes a chapter devoted exclusively to network security.

Product description

From the Back Cover

New in the Fifth Edition

Among the many changes in this book, the most important one is the addition of Prof. David J. Wetherall as a co-author. David brings a rich background in networking, having cut his teeth designing metropolitan-area networks more than 20 years ago. He has worked with the Internet and wireless networks ever since and is a professor at the University of Washington, where he has been teaching and doing research on computer networks and related topics for the past decade.

Of course, the book also has many changes to keep up with the ever-changing world of computer networks. Among these are revised and new material on:

  • Wireless networks (802.12 and 802.16)
  • The 3G networks used by smart phones
  • RFID and sensor networks
  • Content Distribution using CDNs
  • Peer-to-peer networks
  • Real-time media (from stored, streaming, and live sources)
  • Internet telephony (voice over IP)
  • Delay-tolerant networks

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and very technical
    Reviewed in Australia on 18 October 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This book is used at UQ St Lucia in their introductory one semester course to networks or was a few years ago. It is packed full of information and very technical. It has the backbone of more advanced courses. I am basically using as a reference and slowly going through material. I have health problems so I will be rereading chapters perhaps twice as a go along. The material is so challenging that at this stage of my life I don't expect to necessarily finish this book nor to understand everything in it. Some high level maths but mainly important network ideas that need the effort. I have only had one read of 1.5 chapters so far. Would recommend if you really want an in depth understanding of network theory as well as a lot of practical stuff.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and readable book on computer networking
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Book covers many aspects of "networking" - from PSTN and mobile telephony and satellites, with fairly comprehensive treatment of the OSI 7-layer model, before a challenging section on Network Security.

    While some of the sections are pretty basic and fairly superficial, but the vast majority of the information presented is both detailed and accessible. This makes it a great book to have to hand.

    Sure it's expensive, but it's worth it!

    I thought it would be an updated version of the 2010 edition, and I was looking forward to reading on the advances of cryptography, but it turns out it is just a reprint for a European audience, minus the cryptography chapter, which is blatantly missing, I happen to own the previous edition, too.

    Reviewed in Italy on 19 January 2014

    Non c'é niente da dire, il tanembaum é il testo di riferimento per studiare reti a livello universitario. Molto completo e ben scritto copre tutti i 7 livelli OSI in modo molto dettagliato.
    Consigliatissimo (a patto di avere una comprensione dell'inglese piú che buona)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Klassiker seit vielen Jahren mit Grundlagen zum Wiederholen
    Reviewed in Germany on 18 November 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Ich habe dieses Buch - in seiner ersten Ausgabe - für meine Vorlesung zur Rechnerkommunikation das erste Mal gelesen, was jetzt ca. 20 Jahre her ist. Das Buch hat mir damals gefallen und es gefällt mir immer noch sehr gut. Ich bin allerdings froh, dass sich das ISO 7 Schichten Modell nicht durchgesetzt hat, sondern nur noch ca. 5 Schichten (und ein wenig mehr) übrige geblieben sind, die die meisten Kapitelüberschriften stellen:

    1 INTRODUCTION
    2 THE PHYSICAL LAYER
    3 THE DATA LINK LAYER
    4 THE MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL SUBLAYER
    5 THE NETWORK LAYER
    6 THE TRANSPORT LAYER
    7 THE APPLICATION LAYER
    8 NETWORK SECURITY
    9 READING LIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY

    Das Buch beginnt bei den Grundlagen und steigert sich (für mich angenehm) im Laufe der Kapitel in die Details hinein, wobei die Erklärungen meiner Meinung nach sehr gelungen sind.

    Immer wieder eine wichtige Erkenntnis aus diesem Buch:

    Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

    Trotz seiner fast 1000 Seiten, hätte ich mir persönlich an ein paar Stellen (Ethernet VLANs, TCP Schnittstellen, MPLS etc.) eine noch detailliertere Darstellen einzelner Themen gewünscht, aber das wäre dann jeweils einzelne Bücher gewesen, die dann jeweils im Kapitel 9 empfohlen werden.

    Ich finde das Englisch der Autoren sehr lesbar und der Stil zum Teil sogar unterhaltsam. Die deutsche Version habe ich noch nie gekauft, kann also zur Übersetzung nichts sagen.

    Ich freue mich schon auf die nächste Ausgabe dieses Klassikers.
