The author provides examples from the Internet and wireless networks to translate the principles associated with each layer of networking [Passage 1]. The book specifically mentions examples of wireless networking technologies such as 802.11, 802.16, Bluetooth™, and 3G cellular, as well as fixed-network coverage including ADSL, Internet over cable, gigabit Ethernet, MLPS, and peer-to-peer networks [Passage 2].
The author also details new coverage on 3G mobile phone networks, Fiber to the Home, RFID, delay-tolerant networks, and 802.11 security. Expanded material includes Internet routing, multicasting, congestion control, quality of service, real-time transport, and content distribution [Passage 2]. The passages do not provide evidence in the form of experimental data or specific case studies, but rather list technologies and concepts used as examples.
