New and updated features of this title

Keeps students up-to-date with new material and chapter updates

• UPDATE: The Internet is discussed before single networks, and speed details appear in Ch. 3 to provide a cleaner flow of material.
• UPDATE: Cloud computing has been moved to Ch. 11 because it primarily deals with application architecture.
• UPDATE: The syntax of HTTP has been moved entirely to Ch. 11, the Networked Applications chapter.
• UPDATE: Ch. 2 discusses the Ethernet II frame, not the 802.3 MAC Layer frame. Now that IP dominates at the Internet layer, it is Ethernet II frames that students must understand.
• UPDATE: Ch. 3 now includes network management information and centralizes SDN information, which was spread across multiple chapters in the previous edition.
• UPDATE: Everything in Ch. 4 has been updated, and the stateful inspection and next-generation firewall sections have been considerably redone.
