TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1
Kevin R. Fall, Ph.D., has over twenty-five years of experience with TCP/IP and has served on the Internet Architecture Board. He is one of the co-chairs of the Internet Research Task Force's Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group (DTNRG), which studies networking in harsh and performance-challenged conditions. He is a member of the IEEE.
W. Richard Stevens, Ph.D. (1951-1999), was a pioneering author who taught a generation of network professionals the TCP/IP abilities that have enabled the Internet to become a part of daily life. His best-selling publications included TCP/IP Illustrated (Addison-Wesley) in all three volumes, as well as UNIX Network Programming (Prentice Hall).
TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1, Second Edition is a comprehensive and visually illustrative guide to today's TCP/IP protocol stack. It is fully updated for the most recent advances and shows each protocol in action using realistic examples from modern Linux, Windows, and Mac OS environments. There is no better method to learn why TCP/IP works the way it does, how it responds to typical scenarios, and how to use it in your own applications and networks.
Author Kevin R. Fall adds his cutting-edge experience as a leader in TCP/IP protocol research to the late W. Richard Stevens' classic first edition, updating the book to fully reflect the latest protocols and best practices. He begins by introducing TCP/key IP's goals and architectural concepts, demonstrating how they may connect various networks and support many services running concurrently. Following that, he thoroughly describes Internet addressing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Then he walks through TCP/structure IP's and function from the ground up, starting with link layer protocols like Ethernet and Wi-Fi and progressing through network, transport, and application layers.
Fall covers ARP, DHCP, NAT, firewalls, ICMPv4/ICMPv6, broadcasting, multicasting, UDP, DNS, and many more topics. He covers a wide range of topics related to reliable transport and TCP, such as connection management, timeout, retransmission, interactive data flow, and congestion control. Finally, he covers the fundamentals of security and cryptography, as well as the critical current protocols for safeguarding security and privacy, such as EAP, IPsec, TLS, DNSSEC, and DKIM. Whatever your level of TCP/IP knowledge, this book will help you obtain a deeper, more intuitive grasp of the whole protocol suite, allowing you to build better applications and run more reliable, efficient networks.
