Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Explores a wide variety of problems in designing computer communication networks, such as resolving incompatibilities of equipment; coordinating sender and receiver; maximizing reliability and freedom from errors; and optimizing performance. The authors present the most common techniques used to solve these problems, techniques which are standardized and are likely to be used in new systems.
