Book Overview:

Without networks, computers can't do the things most people want them to do today - share access to the Internet, check e-mail, easily move music and picture files, or simply share a printer. This book takes the reader through the inner-workings of network systems with simple explanations to cut through networking jargon. The book begins by describing the basic principles of signaling and information packaging used in all systems and goes on to show how those principles work inside pieces of network equipment ranging from network interface cards to the Internet. This latest edition includes new technologies not currently covered. The most compelling reason to pick up How Networks Work, Sixth Edition, however, is the all-new illustrations. A professional illustrator has created new art that is in line with the art from How Computers Work and How the Internet Works. The authors have revamped the contents of the book so that this title truly fits in the How it Works series.
