It is motivated by the perceived need for an easily accessible textbook that puts emphasis on the core concepts behind current and next generation networks. After an overview of how today's Internet works and a discussion of the main principles behind its architecture, we discuss the key ideas behind Ethernet, WiFi networks, routing, internetworking, and TCP. To make the book as self-contained as possible, brief discussions of probability and Markov chain concepts are included in the appendices. This is followed by a brief discussion of mathematical models that provide insight into the operations of network protocols. Next, the main ideas behind the new generation of wireless networks based on LTE, and the notion of QoS are presented. A concise discussion of the physical layer technologies underlying various networks is also included. Finally, a sampling of topics is presented that may have significant influence on the future evolution of networks, including overlay networks like content delivery and peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, distributed algorithms, Byzantine agreement, source compression, SDN and NFV, and Internet of Things. 410 0$aSynthesis Lectures on Learning, Networks, and Algorithms,$x2690-4314 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aCooperating objects (Computer systems) 606 $aProgramming languages (Electronic computers) 606 $aTelecommunication 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aCyber-Physical Systems 606 $aProgramming Language 606 $aCommunications Engineering, Networks 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aCooperating objects (Computer systems). 615 0$aProgramming languages (Electronic computers). 615 0$aTelecommunication. 615 14$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aCyber-Physical Systems. 615 24$aProgramming Language. 615 24$aCommunications Engineering, Networks. 676 $a006.3 700 $aWalrand$b Jean$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0103675 702 $aParekh$b Shyam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814050203321 996 $aCommunication Networks$94070437 997 $aUNINA
