Internet Architecture:an Introduction to IP Protocols (Prentice Hall Series in Advanced Communications Technologies) (Hardcover)

Internet Architecture: Protocols and Applications is an expert, application-oriented introduction to every Internet protocol networking professionals need to know about. Respected communications consultant Uyless Black begins with a detailed overview of how the Internet works, and how it has evolved, reviewing key elements such as backbones, metropolitan area exchanges, and private peering points. Black presents an architectural model that shows how TCP/IP and related protocols fit together; then introduces each protocol, in detail. Coverage includes: LANs and link protocols; addresses, names, DNS, ARP, and DHCP; IP and ICMP; TCP and UDP; PPP, L2TP, and more. Black also presents extensive coverage of VPNs and security, including IPSec; as well as network management via SNMP, RMON and MIBs. Finally, the book previews the emerging multiservice Internet, which will incorporate advanced protocols such as Voice over IP (VoIP), as well as QoS initiatives like Multiprotocol Label Switching and DiffServ.

World-renowned communications consultant Uyless Black begins with a detailed overview of how the Internet works and how it has evolved, reviewing key elements such as backbones, Metropolitan Area Exchanges (MAEs), and private peering points. He presents an architectural model that shows how TCP/IP and related protocols fit together, and organizes them into key functional areas. Next, he introduces each key Internet protocol in detail including:

• LAN and link protocols
• Routing protocols with OSPF and BGP
• IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP
• Internet addressing and naming protocols: DNS, ARP, and DHCP
• VPNs and remote access: L2TP, IPSec, and more
• Network management: SNMP, RMON, and MIBs

Black concludes with an expert introduction to the protocols underlying the emerging multiservice Internet, including Voice over IP (VoIP), as well as Quality of Service (QoS) solutions such as MPLS and DiffServ. For networking professionals, this is the most relevant, authoritative guide to Internet protocols available: today's and tomorrow's.
