This book acts as a ready reckoner both for students and instructors. It guides them to identify the needs of a successful business application or an organization and to construct the blueprint for network design. Readers do not have to refer to several books for a single course with multiple dimensions. This book is written in simple language, catering to the curriculum of major and reputed universities all across India.

Today, the world is a global village with the advent of the Internet and Computer Networks, which is a combination of lakhs of computer systems interconnected to share information. Computer networking is a means by which computers are connected together to share data and information, resources and all other network devices. The common aim of work in these fields is to understand and design Network Infrastructure by ensuring their availability and security, so that the data can be transmitted in a secure and hassle-free manner.

The course is a prerequisite to many advanced courses, such as Wireless Networks, Wireless Technology, Wireless Sensor Networks, Wireless Ad-hoc Networks, Enterprise Design Networks, and Network Design to name a few. Also, the course is studied by many branches of Engineering, thus creating the need for a simple and single book for the students which meets all their requirements. This book has been written keeping these views in mind.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Computer Networks
This chapter introduces the basic terms and terminologies used in computer networks. It also gives a ­comparative study of the technologies and terminologies used in computer networks.

Chapter 2: Physical Layer
This chapter discusses the physical layer functionalities and gives an in-depth analysis of the Guided and Unguided media.

Chapter 3: Data Link Layer
In this chapter, the services of the data link layer are described. The chapter focusses on the two sub-layers of the DLL in brief explaining their roles with standard examples.

Chapter 4: Network Layer
This chapter talks about the network layer services and protocols. The IP addressing and routing functions of the network layer are explained with examples at appropriate discussions.

Chapter 5: Transport Layer
This chapter introduces the difference between connection-oriented and connectionless services. It also walks the readers through the standard protocols, such as UDP and TCP.

Chapter 6: Session Layer
This chapter explains the session layer design issues. RPC protocol is also discussed in detail in this chapter.

Chapter 7: Presentation Layer
This chapter briefs the services offered by the presentation layer. A step-by-step study of the compression techniques is also provided in this chapter.

Chapter 8: Application Layer
This chapter describes the application layer protocols with suitable figures to support the description.

Chapter 9: Network Design
This chapter takes a step in the direction of network design with the foundation laid by the preceding ­chapters. It elaborates the guidelines for network design and rules to be followed to create a design template for any given network.
