The book Computer Networking and Data Communications, eighth edition provides a clear, understandable, and unified view of the entire field of data communications, networking, and protocols.

William Stallings organizes this vast subject into small, comprehensible sections, creating a complete study by section on the most modern technologies. Stallings has substantially revised this well-known book to reflect the latest developments, from Wi-Fi and 10 Gbps Ethernet to advanced congestion control and IP protocol performance metrics.

As with all of Stallings' well-known books, Computer Networking and Data Communications provides extensive pedagogical support, including hundreds of carefully selected homework exercises.
