The world's leading introduction to networking-fully updated for tomorrow's key technologies.

Computer Networks, Fourth Edition is the ideal introduction to today's networks-and tomorrow's. This classic best
seller has been thoroughly updated to reflect the newest and most important networking technologies with a special
emphasis on wireless networking, including 802.11, Bluetooth, broadband wireless, ad hoc networks, i-mode, and
WAP. But fixed networks have not been ignored either with coverage of ADSL, gigabit Ethernet, peer-to-peer
networks, NAT, and MPLS. And there is lots of new material on applications, including over 60 pages on the Web,
plus Internet radio, voice over IP, and video on demand.Finally, the coverage of network security has been revised
and expanded to fill an entire chapter.

Author, educator, and researcher Andrew S. Tanenbaum, winner of the ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding
Educator Award, carefully explains how networks work on the inside, from underlying hardware at the physical layer
up through the top-level application layer. Tanenbaum covers all this and more:
•
• Physical layer (e.g., copper, fiber, wireless, satellites, and Internet over cable)
•
• Data link layer (e.g., protocol principles, protocol verification, HDLC, and PPP)
•
• MAC Sublayer (e.g., gigabit Ethernet, 802.11, broadband wireless, and switching)
•
• Network layer (e.g., routing algorithms, congestion control, QoS, IPv4, and IPv6)

•
• Transport layer (e.g., socket programming, UDP, TCP, RTP, and network performance)
•
• Application layer (e.g., e-mail, the Web, PHP, wireless Web, MP3, and streaming audio)
•
• Network security (e.g., AES, RSA, quantum cryptography, IPsec, and Web security)

The book gives detailed descriptions of the principles associated with each layer and presents many examples drawn
from the Internet and wireless networks.

Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms
This new book, co-authored with Maarten van Steen, covers both the principles and paradigms of modern
distributed systems. In the first part, it covers the principles of communication, processes, naming, synchronization,
consistency and replication, fault tolerance, and security in detail. Then in the second part, it goes into different
paradigms used to build distributed systems, including object-based systems, distributed file systems,
document-based systems, and coordination-based systems. Numerous examples are discussed at length.
Modern Operating Systems, 2nd edition
This comprehensive text covers the principles of modern operating systems in detail and illustrates them with
numerous real-world examples. After an introductory chapter, the next five chapters deal with the basic concepts:
processes and threads, deadlocks, memory management, input/output, and file systems. The next six chapters deal
with more advanced material, including multimedia systems, multiple processor systems, security. Finally, two
detailed case studies are given: UNIX/Linux and Windows 2000.
Structured Computer Organization, 4th edition
This widely-read classic, now in its fourth edition, provides the ideal introduction to computer architecture. It covers
the topic in an easy-to-understand way, bottom up. There is a chapter on digital logic for beginners, followed by
chapters on microarchitecture, the instruction set architecture level, operating systems, assembly language, and
parallel computer architectures.
Operating Systems: Design and Implementation, 2nd edition
This popular text on operating systems, co-authored with Albert S. Woodhull, is the only book covering both the
principles of operating systems and their application to a real system. All the traditional operating systems topics are
covered in detail. In addition, the principles are carefully illustrated with MINIX, a free POSIX-based UNIX-like
operating system for personal computers. Each book contains a free CD-ROM containing the complete MINIX
system, including all the source code. The source code is listed in an appendix to the book and explained in detail in
the text.
