Book Details

Description:

**Advanced Computer Networks** is a specialized subject that delves deep into the architecture, protocols, technologies, and performance optimization of modern computer networks. It builds upon fundamental networking concepts by introducing advanced topics such as routing algorithms, Quality of Service (QoS), traffic engineering, network security, wireless and mobile networking, IPv6, MPLS, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN). The subject also covers in-depth study of protocols like BGP, OSPF, and TCP/IP, as well as congestion control, network reliability, and fault tolerance mechanisms essential for enterprise and data center environments.

Students gain a comprehensive understanding of how complex networks are designed, managed, and secured to handle high-volume data transmission with minimal latency and maximum efficiency. Real-world applications such as cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and multimedia communication are also explored. Emphasis is placed on simulations, network performance analysis, and hands-on labs using tools like Wireshark, Cisco Packet Tracer, or GNS3. Proficiency in Advanced Computer Networks prepares students for careers in network engineering, cybersecurity, system administration, and IT infrastructure management, where reliable and secure connectivity is mission-critical.
