Product Description
"The only learn-by-doing book on Internet protocols-highly recommended." - Scott Bradner, IETF Transport Area Director
Companies worldwide are scrambling to migrate their networks to an Internet/intranet configuration. As a result, the demand for technical professionals who understand how Internet protocols work has never been greater. Written by Dr. Mark Pullen, recipient of the IEEE Harry Diamond Memorial Award for his work in networking for distributed simulation, this book/CD package focuses on detailed explanations and exercises to develop knowledge of Internet protocols.
Each chapter describes an important protocol by introducing its technology context and explaining its principal algorithm(s). Then a series of hands-on projects are presented where you'll actually program the central algorithms in C and test them using the
Network Workbench software created by Dr. Pullen. As you complete each project, you'll acquire a deeper understanding of how Internet protocols work. As a result, you will understand how and why the Internet works - knowledge that is in hot demand!
Key topics covered in this book include:
* The Internet Protocol Stack and the Network Workbench
* Wide Area Network topology
* Data link control-framing, error detection, flow control
* Local Area Networks-Ethernet and token passing
* Network protocols-routing, computation, multicasting
* Application layer servers and clients
* Network security and firewalls
The CD-ROM contains: Network Workbench, a program that replicates Internet protocol behavior and lets you practice Internet simulation one step at a time. It runs on Windows, Sun Unix, or Linux. As a bonus, it contains lecture slides from Dr. Pullen's introductory networking course!
