This comprehensive overview of data communications concepts covers nearly every topic that one would encounter when starting out in the field. It would be suitable for an in-depth course in data communications. The exercises range from simple to moderately difficult. The book does not include any programming examples. It does, however, include some algorithms (for example, checksum), and mathematical formulae. An advanced computer science student should have little difficulty translating these into code. Overall, I give this text high marks. It is comprehensive and sufficiently rigorous for an upper-division course. The book is divided into four major sections: “Data Communications,” “Data Communication Networking,” “Computer Communications Architecture,” and “ISDN.” The section on ISDN has only one chapter, but is still quite thorough. The other sections contain five chapters each. Since this book covers such a range of material, it could have been divided in several ways. The format chosen by Stallings is as good as any. The first section, “Data Communications,” covers transmission, digital and analog encoding, digital communications, link control, and multiplexing. Students using this text should be prepared for an intense experience right away. The author spends little time getting started. Instead, he jumps right into some meaty material. For example, chapter 2 concludes with a discussion of Fourier analysis. The next section includes material on circuit and packet switching, radio networks, and LANs. The third section gives a good presentation of protocols and network architecture. Stallings covers both the TCP/IP and the OSI protocol models. Finally, an appendix introduces queueing analysis. This text is one of the best data communications books I have come across. It is most suitable for advanced students or professionals with some data communications experience. The problems are challenging and appropriate. The technical material is accurate and current. As a software developer, I would have liked to find some algorithm examples in PDL, but as it is this book is over 800 pages long. I would not recommend this book to someone just wanting to learn a little bit about networking. I would recommend it highly to the serious student of networking and data communications.
