Business Data Communications, 6/e,is ideal for use
in Business Data Communications, Data Communications, and
introductory Networking for Business courses.
Business Data Communications, 6/e,covers the fundamentals of
data communications, networking, distributed applications, and
network management and security. Stallings presents these concepts
in a way that relates specifically to the business environment and
the concerns of business management and staff, structuring his text
around requirements, ingredients, and applications. While making
liberal use of real-world case studies and charts and graphs to
provide a business perspective, the book also provides the student
with a solid grasp of the technical foundation of business data
communications. Throughout the text, references to the interactive,
online animations supply a powerful tool in understanding complex
protocol mechanisms.
The Sixth Edition maintains Stallings' superlative support for
either a research projects or modeling projects component in the
course. The diverse set of projects and student exercises
enables the instructor to use the book as a component in a rich and
varied learning experience and to tailor a course plan to meet the
specific needs of the instructor and students
