This is a book about the bricks and mortar out of which are built
those edifices that so well characterize late twentieth century
industrial society networks of computers and terminals. Such
computer networks are playing an increasing role in our daily
lives, somewhat indirectly up to now as the hidden servants of
banks, retail credit bureaus, airline reservation offices, and so
forth, but soon they will become more visible as they enter our
offices and homes and directly become part of our work,
entertainment, and daily living. The study of how computer networks
work is a combined study of communication theory and computer
science, two disciplines appearing to have very little in common.
The modern communication scientist wishing to work in this area
finds himself in suddenly unfamiliar territory. It is no longer
sufficient for him to think of transmission, modulation, noise
immun ity, error bounds, and other abstractions of a single
communication link; he is dealing now with a topologically complex
interconnection of such links. And what is more striking, solving
the problems of getting the signal from one point to another is
just the beginning of the communication process. The communication
must be in the right form to be routed properly, to be handled
without congestion, and to be understood at the right points in the
network. The communication scientist suddenly finds himself charged
with responsibility for such things as code and format conversions,
addressing, flow control, and other abstractions of a new and
challenging kind."
