About Data Communications and Networking
Data Communications and Networking by Behrouz A. Forouzan is a widely adopted textbook that introduces the fundamentals of networking and data communication. It covers topics such as network models, protocols, transmission media, error detection, routing, and network security. This particular copy is in acceptable condition: it contains highlighting on a group of interior pages and shows heavy wear and tape repair on the covers. Despite these cosmetic issues, it remains a serviceable study copy, priced according to its condition. The seller wraps every order in thick cardboard for added protection during transit, which explains the slightly higher shipping charge. This is a practical option for students who want a low-cost, content-complete textbook for coursework or reference.
Who should read Data Communications and Networking?
This book is ideal for undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in computer networking, data communications, or IT courses that use Forouzan's text.
