The publication of a fourth edition of this ever-popular book confirms its place as the definitive tratment of local and metropolitan area networks. Since the first edition appeared in 1983, successive editions of this book have tracked and explained the explosive techincal and design developments in this important field. The book provides an in-depth presentation of the technology and architecture of local and metropolitan area networks. By focusing on the underlying principles of design and implementation, Dr. Stallings gives the reader an understanding and critical facility for judging design alternatives. He emphasizes such key areas as topology, transmission medium, protocols, performance, internetworking, and network management. The book provides a through, up-to-date discussion of all key network standards, including IEEE 802, FDDI, FDDI-II, and DQDB MAN.
