Features

Provides a firm foundation in networking with basic, introductory topics

A discussion of security and threats includes the plan-protect-respond cycle for corporate security management, security planning, and protection-phase issues.
Network design and management topics show students how to analyze requirements and turn them into simple network designs.
Readers are introduced to Microsoft® Office Visio for the creation of network diagrams.
Test Your Understanding questions, chapter-opening caselets, guided readings, and footnotes enhance students' learning and comprehension.

Prepares students for the demands of today's employers with job-level content

The text goes beyond the basic topology and switch operation to cover topics such as link aggregation, the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, and more.
The material focuses on skills and issues likely to arise in job interviews and on the job, including laying out an Ethernet LAN, WiFi security, IPv6, SDN, and more.
The latest in networking techniques and wireless networking are discussed, including a focus on security.

Keeps students up-to-date with new material and chapter updates

UPDATED - Now the Internet is discussed before single networks, and speed details were moved to Chapter 3 to provide a cleaner flow of material.
UPDATED - Cloud computing was moved to Chapter 11 because it primarily deals with application architecture.
UPDATED - The syntax of HTTP has been moved entirely to Chapter 11, the Networked Applications chapter.
UPDATED - Chapter 2 discusses the Ethernet II frame, not the 802.3 MAC Layer frame. Now that IP dominates at the Internet layer, it is Ethernet II frames that students have to understand.
UPDATED - Chapter 3 now includes network management information and centralizes SDN information, which was spread across multiple chapters in the previous edition.
UPDATED - Everything in Chapter 4 has been updated, and the stateful inspection and next-generation firewall sections have been considerably redone.
