An example‑based textbook that bridges networking theory and real‑world practice, providing students and professionals with a foundational understanding of modern network technologies alongside hands‑on exercises. The book adopts a bottom‑up approach, covering fundamental topics such as network architectures and protocols, Ethernet and wireless networks, LAN devices and virtual LANs, routers and routing protocols, and wide area network access. Carefully designed laboratory exercises using open‑source networking tools, numerous case studies, and practical configuration examples help link classroom concepts to real devices and scenarios, making it ideal for lab‑oriented courses and self‑study.
