TCP/IP Explained offers readers an indepth understanding of the Internet Protocol suite. It assumes no prior knowledge of TCP/IP, only a basic understanding of LAN access protocols. This concise and practical book explains all the elements and alternatives. TCP/IP Explained leads the reader through the Internet protocols, combining study questions with reference material. All protocols are explained with supporting decisions and network traces in order to demonstrate salient points raised in the text. Examples of network designs and implementations are given.
TCP/IP Explained can be broadly split into four sections. The first deals with the basics of TCP/IP suite and how data is transported between two systems. The second discusses routing principles and protocols. The third deals with applications, and the fourth discusses miscellaneous areas, such as common protocols used across wide area networks, securing networks, and the future of IP.
TCP/IP Explained covers:
- The development of the Internet Protocol Suite and standardization
- Common network access and Link Layer protocols
- Addressing, subnetting, and name/address resolution
- Error reporting and recovery mechanisms
- The mechanics of routing and major routing protocols
- Network management
- The future of the Internet Protocol Suite and contempory developments
