The Internet Book
(Douglas E. Comer)
The Morse code is digital and thus the telegraph introduces the digital technology which later becomes the backbone of to-days Internet world. Presently, what we refer as ?Information Super Highway? got its origin in the hands of US Defense Dept. So, we must be grateful to them due allowing the world to use this unique technology freely. Certainly they are the great. They had the vision. Without their intention to make ARPANET public it would have been impossible to switch over the digital world leaving behind the decade old analog telephony. Though the origin lies with them, the world has nurtured and still continuing to do so for its full-fledged development. Owing to its ?Open System? nature, you can very easily associate yourself with the Internet. Understanding TCP/IP is not mandatory to connect and use the Internet. What you need is to have access to the existing Internet infrastructure, which can be switched through the ISP (Internet Service Provider) available to you. Douglas E. Comer has nicely explained with lots of fact and figures, the above development of Internet from its early inception to to-days giant milestone in his book ?The Internet Book? with ISBN-81-203- 1459-X. Without using any critical technical jargon, the author has chosen very simple language to explain the heavy technical details of Internet Society. The book tells that the Internet is nothing but a network of networks and thus it is not a basic category of networks. LAN (Local Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) and sometimes the CAN (Campus Area Network) are generally referred to as the principle category of network. The process of building a network, identifying the computer in the said network, methodology used to define the IP address (i.e 264.96.58.35) of any given computer in the Internet etc. have been unambiguously taught in this book. The book can become handy and very useful to any student of computer science, professional and general population of other field, for understanding the basic working and operational principle of Internet.
