Networking Across Boundaries
New Directions in Community-based Job Training and Economic Development
Foundations of Modern Networking is a comprehensive, unified survey of modern networking technology and applications for today’s professionals, managers, and students. Dr. William Stallings offers clear and well-organized coverage of five key technologies that are transforming networks: Software-Defined Networks (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Quality of Experience (QoE), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloudbased services. Dr. Stallings reviews current network ecosystems and the challenges they face–from Big Data and mobility to security and complexity. Next, he offers complete, self-contained coverage of each new set of technologies: how they work, how they are architected, and how they can be applied to solve real problems. Dr. Stallings presents a chapter-length analysis of emerging security issues in modern networks. He concludes with an up-to date discussion of networking careers, including important recent changes in roles and skill requirements. Coverage: Elements of the modern networking ecosystem: technologies, architecture, services, and applications Evolving requirements of current network environments SDN: concepts, rationale, applications, and standards across data, control, and application planes OpenFlow, OpenDaylight, and other key SDN technologies Network functions virtualization: concepts, technology, applications, and software defined infrastructure Ensuring customer Quality of Experience (QoE) with interactive video and multimedia network traffic Cloud networking: services, deployment models, architecture, and linkages to SDN and NFV IoT and fog computing in depth: key components of IoT-enabled devices, model architectures, and example implementations Securing SDN, NFV, cloud, and IoT environments Career preparation and ongoing education for tomorrow’s networking careers Key Features: Strong coverage of unifying principles and practical techniques More than a hundred figures that clarify key concepts Web support at williamstallings.com/Network/ QR codes throughout, linking to the website and other resources Keyword/acronym lists, recommended readings, and glossary Margin note definitions of key words throughout the text

This volume contains reprints of articles, excerpts from books, transcripts from speeches, and studies of social trends in the United States and other countries. These sources provide background information and discussion from various points of view that illuminate the subject of social networking. This work traces its history, weighing its pros and cons, and raising some of the key questions that the 2010 film The Social Network asks us to consider. This work includes a primer course on social media past and present and an exploration on how companies are using social-networking sites to promote their products. The editors have included information pertaining to how activists, nonprofit organizations (NPOs), and candidates for offices big and small are taking their messages on-line and also the educational benefits of social networking. The kinds of personal troubles that can result from joining an on-line network are presented as well as a look at how social media has shaped and been shaped by society. Authors of the included articles offer both positive and negative criticisms of on-line social networks.
Such 'social networking' websites as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter have revolutionized communication, changing the ways in which friends stay in touch, companies advertise products, and politicians reach voters, to name but three of their ...
Taking a unique "engineering" approach that will help readers gain a grasp of not just how but also why networks work the way they do, this book includes the very latest network technology--including the first practical treatment of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).

Stop waiting for the network team! If basic TCP/IP was hard, network administrators couldn't do it. Servers give sysadmins a incredible visibility into the network-once they know how to unlock it. Most sysadmins don't need to understand window scaling, or the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 echo requests, or other intricacies of the TCP/IP protocols. You need only enough to deploy your own applications and get easy support from the network team. This book teaches you: * How modern networks really work * The essentials of TCP/IP * The next-generation protocol, IPv6 * The right tools to diagnose network problems, and how to use them * Troubleshooting everything from the physical wire to DNS * How to see the traffic you send and receive * Connectivity testing * How to communicate with your network team to quickly resolve problems A systems administrator doesn't need to know the innards of TCP/IP, but knowing enough to diagnose your own network issues transforms a good sysadmin into a great one.

The massive popularity of wireless networking has caused equipment costs to continually plummet, while equipment capabilities continue to increase. By applying this technology in areas that are badly in need of critical communications infrastructure, more people can be brought online than ever before, in less time, for very little cost. We hope to not only convince you that this is possible, but also show how we have made such networks work, and to give you the information and tools you need to start a network project in your local community.This book was created by a team of individuals who each, in their own field, are actively participating in the ever-expanding Internet by pushing its reach farther than ever before. This book documents our efforts to build wireless networks in the developing world.Download the PDF for free from http://wndw.net/
