Expanded and added new hands-on activities with deliverables to each chapter.
o Several labs are included that use Wireshark. The activities are designed to reinforce the key concepts in each chapter, as well as to provide an interesting, practical use of network technology. These activities could be used as demonstrations in class, lab exercises, or activities given as homework.
Chapter 5 has been significantly updated. This additional material should make it easier for the students to understand TCP/IP.
o More detailed description of the TCP/IP handshakes is provided
o New section in this chapter describes the anatomy of a router
Chapter on network security now has a new hand-on assignment that asks the students to use PGP to encrypt and decrypt an e-mail message using public key encryption.
o This assignment will help students to better understand how to post a public key and the procedure for encrypting a message.
Reduced complexity and bulk by removing older technologies that are fading from use.
• Real-life examples throughout the text illustrate the complex uses of networks in recent years including mini-cases in Management Focus boxes which show how real organizations are using telecommunications and networking.
• The text covers all the important topics in data communications. Every important technology and/or network management issue is addressed in enough depth to give the student a basic understanding.
• Online material to help you teach the course including an online lab manual, OPNET labs, and animations to help students visualize and understand concepts more effectively
