Editorial Review

This book takes a refreshing approach – an exploration journey - to a difficult technical subject. As if through the zoom lens of a camera, the author switches between looking at the Internet in detail and looking at it in its entirery, so that the reader's frangmented knowledge can be made into a unified knowledge structure.
Since many of today's network technologies are born out of the Internet, this book certainly leads to a true understanding of networks.
