Radia Perlman's Interconnections is recognized as a
leading text on networking theory and practice. It
provides authoritative and comprehensive information on
general networking concepts, routing algorithms and
protocols, addressing, and the mechanics of bridges,
routers, switches, and hubs. This Second Edition is
expanded and updated to cover the newest developments in
the field, including advances in switching and bridge
technology, VLANs, Fast Ethernet, DHCP, ATM, and IPv6.
Additional new topics include IPX, AppleTalk, and
DECnet. You will gain a deeper understanding of the
range of solutions possible and find valuable
information on protocols for which documentation is not
readily available elsewhere. Written by the inventor of
many of the algorithms that make switching and routing
robust and efficient, Interconnections, Second Edition
offers an expert's insight into how and why networks
operate as they do. Perlman describes all of the major
networking algorithms and protocols in use today in
clear and concise terms, while exploring the engineering
trade-offs that the different approaches represent. The
book contains extensive coverage of such topics as: *The
spanning tree algorithm *The differences between
bridges, routers, and switches *Virtual LANs (VLANs) and
Fast Ethernet *Addressing and packet formats for IP,
IPv6, IPX, CLNP, AppleTalk, and DECnet
*Autoconfiguration of addresses; strategies in various
protocol suites *Routing protocols, including RIP,
IS-IS, OSPF, PNNI, NLSP, and BGP *Layer 3 multicast
protocols, including IGMP, DVMRP, MOSPF, CBT, PIM, BGMP,
Simple Multicast, and Express *Sabotage-proof routing
*Protocol design folklore 020[zasłonięte]4481B04[zasłonięte]001
