Interconnections: Bridges, Routers, Switches, and Internetworking Protocols

摘要: Radia Perlman's Interconnections is recognized as a leading text on networking theory and practice. It provides authoritative comprehensive information general concepts, routing algorithms protocols, addressing, the mechanics of bridges, routers, switches, hubs. This Second Edition expanded updated to cover newest developments in field, including advances switching bridge technology, VLANs, Fast Ethernet, DHCP, ATM, IPv6. Additional new topics include IPX, AppleTalk, DECnet. You will gain deeper understanding range solutions possible find valuable protocols for which documentation not readily available elsewhere.Written by inventor many that make robust efficient, Interconnections, offers an expert's insight into how why networks operate they do. Perlman describes all major use today clear concise terms, while exploring engineering trade-offs different approaches represent.The book contains extensive coverage such as: The spanning tree algorithm differences between switches Virtual LANs (VLANs) Ethernet Addressing packet formats IP, IPv6, CLNP, DECnet Autoconfiguration addresses; strategies various protocol suites Routing RIP, IS-IS, OSPF, PNNI, NLSP, BGP Layer 3 multicast IGMP, DVMRP, MOSPF, CBT, PIM, BGMP, Simple Multicast, Express Sabotage-proof Protocol design folklore 0201634481B04062001
