Product Description

Product Description

Computer networks, once devoted primarily to research, are now an integral part of modern life. People rely on them to do real work, such as handling bank transactions or making airline reservations. Routers and bridges are needed to form networks of reasonable size. To manage a network it is necessary to understand these devices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best intro to internetworking protocols., 13 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Radia Perlman is a well known authority in the fields of networking and internetworking protocols. This book published in 1992 is the one-stop introduction to the field. It explains (in quite some details) the transparent and source routing bridges, the spanning tree protocol, and the various IP/OSI routing protocols: RIP, OSPF, BGP, ISIS. It also has little introductory sections on multicast routing, on lookup algorithm, and finally a chapter that deals with "whether to bridge or route?" I am sure this topic might be of interest to network adiministrators. But, as a protocols engineer, I find myself going back to this book for a quick intro to a topic before I actually delve into the code and the standards/RFCs.

This is a must read for anyone interested in gaining a good grounding in internetworking protocols.

By A Customer
This book is clearly written and well illustrated. It is an essential building block for achieving the kind of understanding of network infrastructure that is necessary to architect and troubleshoot well.
