The provided passages describe the content of the book "Computer Networks, Fifth Edition" by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and David J. Wetherall. They outline the layers of computer networks and specific technologies covered within each layer, such as gigabit Ethernet, 802.11, IPv4, TCP, and e-mail [Passage 1]. The book also emphasizes wireless networking technologies, including 802.11, 802.16, Bluetooth™, and 3G cellular, alongside fixed-network coverage [Passage 2].
The passages detail the principles associated with each network layer and translate them through examples from the Internet and wireless networks [Passage 1]. They also mention expanded material on Internet routing, multicasting, congestion control, quality of service, real-time transport, and content distribution [Passage 2]. However, the passages do not explicitly detail the "practical implications" of these concepts.
