Tahun : 2003 Pengarang : Andrew S. Tanenbaum Penerbit : Pearson Education, Inc. Ket : This book is now in its fourth edition. Each edition has corresponded to a different phase in the
way computer networks were used. When the first edition appeared in 1980, networks were an
academic curiosity. When the second edition appeared in 1988, networks were used by
universities and large businesses. When the third edition appeared in 1996, computer
networks, especially the Internet, had become a daily reality for millions of people. The new
item in the fourth edition is the rapid growth of wireless networking in many forms.
The networking picture has changed radically since the third edition. In the mid-1990s,
numerous kinds of LANs and WANs existed, along with multiple protocol stacks. By 2003, the
only wired LAN in widespread use was Ethernet, and virtually all WANs were on the Internet.
Accordingly, a large amount of material about these older networks has been removed. Ketegori : COMPUTER NETWORK
