Summary

Summary

Global networking standards are the link between computers and users when communicating across geographical and system hardware boundaries. This volume details the OSI standards, the data networks they serve, and the modelling and mathematical issues affecting them. Designed as both a reference and tutorial, complete with extensive graphics, this book examines the International Standards Organization and CCITT OSI protocol and reflects the latest changes to the network model's upper layers.
