MASTERING THE COMPLEXITY

To master the complexity one must follow the following points.

• CONCENTRATE IN UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPTS:

Instead of details of wires used to connect computers to a specific network, it is important
to understand a few basic categories of wiring schemes their advantages and
disadvantages.
For example:
Instead of how a specific protocol handles congestion, we should concentrate on
what congestion is and why it must be handled.

• LEARNING THE NETWORKING TERMINOLOGY:

The second tool for mastering the complexity is to learn the networking
terminology. In addition to this one must concentrate the concepts and not details,
concentrate on breath and not the depth of technologies, also one should understand the
analogies and illustrations
Network terminology is introduced with new concepts so it is much helpful to learn the
terminology to overcome the complexity of networks.
