From CyberSecurity Summary CyberSecurity Summary

A comprehensive textbook that explores the fundamental design and operation of data communication systems. Unlike traditional resources that strictly follow the OSI seven-layer model, this book emphasizes a systems-oriented perspective to help students understand the interplay between hardware, software, and protocols. The authors have updated this version to address modern technological shifts, specifically focusing on cloudification, 5G networks, and software-defined networking. Through expert testimonials and a detailed table of contents, the text highlights its pedagogical transition from theoretical "how" to practical "doing." It also marks a significant shift by becoming an open-source project, inviting the global community to contribute to its ongoing evolution via GitHub. Ultimately, the source serves as a roadmap for builders, operators, and developers to navigate the complexities of global internet architecture.
