Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Providing a detailed introduction to data communications for any computing-science course, this text is designed particularly for students on BTED HNC/D courses in computing, and for undergraduate degree modules in LANs. It is also suitable for professionals and computer managers who are responsible for networking and need a technical awareness. No prior knowledge is assumed, and the concepts and terminology are introduced at the beginning, before understanding is developed on the knowledge gained.
