Choice Review
Schwartz (telecommunications, Columbia) has written an excellent new introductory book about data and voice communication networks. This comprehensive overview documents the internationally accepted layered architectural network model and develops the key elements of individual protocols based on it. Where applicable Schwartz also emphasizes the fundamental quantitative mathematical methods available to analyze or design these communication networks. Other topics include packet and circuit switched networks, local area networks, and the evolution toward integrated voice and data networks. Although written as a textbook, this work is ideal for practicing engineers, computer scientists, or telecommunication specialists interested in learning more about this topic on a self-study basis. It has an extensive and well-annotated bibliography. A similar book is A.S. Tanenbaum's Computer Networks (1981); B.W. Stuck and E. Arthur's A Computer and Communications Network Performance Analysis Primer (CH, Mar '85) emphasizes quantitative network performance to a greater degree.
