Performance Analysis of Local Computer Networks (Hardback)

Condition

GOOD: The book's cover and spine are in excellent condition, and the dust jacket is intact; however, the dust jacket and pages are starting to tan. Only a few of the pages have writing on them, faintly done in pencil and not obscuring the text.

Product Details

Local Computer Networks, or as referred to today Local Area Networks (LANs), are computer networks within a confined space such as an office building, school, or home. This book describes the methodology used to compute performance over a local computer network. ItIS NOT intended as a tool for the building of the network. It discusses the various methods of analysis and protocols used in these networks toward the definition of the network's performance capabilities.

A strong background in trigonometry and calculus is recommended for this book.

Chapters include:

1. Introduction
2. Data Communication
3. Data Flows in Networks and Queues
4. Circuit-Switching Local Networks
5. Introduction to Local Computer Networks
6. Performance of Basic Access Protocols
7. Polling Networks
8. Ring Networks
9. Random Access Networks
10. Protocols and Network Architecture
11. IEEE 802 BUS Networks
