N1  - Many books in this space are outdated. Dr. Mir addresses the shortcomings in the professional and higher education texts by offering balanced coverage of all topics using extensive case studies and examples. This book covers fundamental and advanced topics in networking suitable for researchers and students. It also covers topics that competitors lack including multicasting protocols, switching systems, high-speed protocols, sensor/mesh networks, WiMax, and Zigbee. Network architecture books, especially the popular ones, are often criticized for being afraid of the math that is involved in design and not offering enough practical scenario based information (e.g. case studies). Computer and Communication Networks has 15 case studies, 250 exercises and examples, and 390 equations/ algorithms. For Sale in Indian subcontinent onlyFeatures      * Blended book covering both the theory and implementation that other books lack.     * Heavily illustrated (328 figures/images). 15 case studies to further explain concepts and theory.     * Author's credentials are strong. Book created from 12 years of teaching networking.
