The book is organized in a modular fashion. After reading Part One, the other parts can be read in a number of possible sequences. Figure 0.1a shows the bottom-up approach provided by reading the book from front to back. With this approach, each part builds on the material in the previous part, so that it is always clear how a given layer of functionality is supported from below. There is more material than can be comfortably covered in a single semester, but the book’s organization makes it easy to eliminate some chapters and maintain the bottom-up sequence. Figure 0.1b suggests one approach to a survey course.
Some readers, and some instructors, are more comfortable with a top-down approach. After the background material (Part One), the reader continues at the application level and works down through the protocol layers. This has the advantage of immediately focusing on the most visible part of the material, the applications, and then seeing, progressively, how each layer is supported by the next layer down. Figure 0.1c is an example of a comprehensive treatment and Figure 0.1d is an example of a survey treatment.
