TCP/IP Networking: Architecture, Administration, and Programming

About

Features

• introduces the environment in which TCP/IP networking is generally used and describes the overall architecture of the TCP/IP protocol suite.

• describes the TCP/IP protocols and services that are employed by end users for doing useful work (NFS and DNS).

• explains the two major data transport protocols (UDP and TCP) used in a TCP/IP internet.

• investigates the low-level protocols in the TCP/IP protocol suite used to provide basic packet delivery facilities (IP, ARP, RARP, and ICMP).

• explores network management, administration, and troubleshooting procedures used in keeping a TCP/IP internet running.

• introduces programming techniques used in writing application programs that communicate over a TCP/IP internet.

The TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol suite forms the basis for the most widely used networking technologies in the world. This book describes the protocols that make up the TCP/IP protocol suite. KEY TOPICS: Explores TCP/IP architecture; Application Layer protocols and services; Transport Layer protocols; Internet Layer protocols; Internet administration; and client-server programming. MARKET: For users of a TCP/IP internet; technicians responsible for installing TCP/IP hardware and software products; technical staff members responsible for maintaining and administering a TCP/IP internet; and systems analysts, designers, and programmers who will be designing and implementing client-server applications that use TCP/IP internets for communication.
