Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet

The most up-to-date introduction to the field of computer networking, this book's top-down approach starts at the application layer and works down the protocol stack.
"ISBN: 9780132856201 - Building on the successful top-down approach of previous editions, the Sixth Edition of Computer Networking continues with an early emphasis on application-layer paradigms and application programming interfaces (the top layer), encouraging a hands-on experience with protocols and networking concepts, before working down the protocol stack to more abstract layers. This book has become the dominant book for this course because of the authors? reputations, the precision of explanation, the quality of the art program, and the value of their own supplements."
It also uses the Internet as the main example of networks. This all creates a book relevant to those interested in networking today. By starting at the application-layer and working down the protocol stack, this book provides a relevant introduction of important concepts. Based on the rationale that once a reader understands the applications of networks they can understand the network services needed to support these applications, this book takes a "top-down" approach that exposes readers first to a concrete application and then draws into some of the deeper issues surrounding
