Book Description

It is highly likely that a reader of this guide will have encountered the term "TCP/IP" before beginning, even without knowing its specific meaning. The reason for this is simple: TCP/IP is ubiquitous. It is the most widely used Internetworking protocol suite today, a prominence gained largely through its fundamental role in operating the global Internet, which has profoundly transformed society. While millions use TCP/IP and the Internet without understanding their underlying mechanisms, the author asserts that for those in the technology field, this knowledge is becoming increasingly critical.

This guide takes the reader on a comprehensive journey through the world of TCP/IP, exploring many hundreds of pages that explain both the general concepts and specific details of the protocol suite. The material is presented in a manner designed to be both educational and engaging for the reader.

This completely up-to-date, encyclopedic reference on the TCP/IP protocol suite will appeal to newcomers and the seasoned professional alike. Kozierok details the core protocols that make TCP/IP internetworks function and the most important classic TCP/IP applications, integrating IPv6 coverage throughout. Over 350 illustrations and hundreds of tables help to explain the finer points of this complex topic. The book's personal, user-friendly writing style lets readers of all levels understand the dozens of protocols and technologies that run the Internet, with full coverage of PPP, ARP, IP, IPv6, IP NAT, IPSec, Mobile IP, ICMP, RIP, BGP, TCP, UDP, DNS, DHCP, SNMP, FTP, SMTP, NNTP, HTTP, Telnet, and much more.
