`Computer Networking : Principles, Protocols and Practice <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/>`_ is an open-source ebook that explains the main principles of Computer Networking and the key protocols that are used on the Internet. The ebook is intended to be used for an upper-level undergraduate networking course. `The first part <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/principles/reliability.html>`_ describes the theoretical foundations of this domain as well and the main algorithms and protocols. `The second part <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/transport-service.html>`_ contains a detailed explanation of the main Internet protocols including 
`HTTP <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/http.html>`_, 
`DNS <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/dns.html>`_, 
`TLS <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/tls.html>`_,
`TCP <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/tcp.html>`_, 
`UDP <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/udp.html>`_, 
`IPv6 <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/ipv6.html#ip-version-6>`_, 
`BGP <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/bgp.html>`_, 
`RIP <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/routing.html#rip>`_, 
`OSPF <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/routing.html#ospf>`_, 
`Ethernet <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/lan.html#ethernet>`_ and 
`WiFi <https://www.computer-networking.info/2nd/html/protocols/lan.html#wireless-networks>`_. `The third part <https://www.computer-networking.info/exercises/html/>`_ contains exercises and practical labs to allow the students to test their knowledge.

*Recent news*
