Ask HN: Looking for book(s) on advanced computer networking

1 points by tinktank 5y ago

I'm looking, in particular, for books that will teach: - the principles of congestion detection and control - How to design network protocols so they're efficient and easy to implement in hardware - Efficient host interface design - Router design for scalability - Efficient network topologies - Reliability and re-transmission techniques I understand not one book will cover all of these. Any book that provides more than the usual undergrad/grad level of depth would be appreciated.

Ok, trying to clarify/narrow down what the usual undergrad/grad level of depth is with what's provided, so reply doesn't seem a bit crude/off-topic. It's hard to do recommendations without defining/clarifying what the usual undergrad/grad level of depth is. aka expected backround / prior knowledge / certifications to have to understand the next step beyond the usual / area of knowledge aka telecommunications, engineering, science, information systems, technical certification such as cisco CCNA. As presented, looking for non-survey/non-introductory books. As presented, this spans the full range of technology degrees/technology applications. Just staying within one of the disciplines below would a bit broad aka multi course catelog for just a specific area of study. some areas the above fall under: electrical enginering, computer engineering, systems engeineering, computer scientist, data scientist, information systems, data science, technical certifications for things such as Cisco and/or telecommunications) Suggestions per information/scope defined: 1) Take a look at what some of the freely available online classes use for resources. https://www.edx.org/ https://www.edx.org/ https://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses https://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses https://oedb.org/open/ https://oedb.org/open/ 2) suggested information available for learning/earning a certification 3) university pages containing course outlines/sylabus pages would help. Ultimate bent would be to feed what's found into a websearch to find related things.
