Features: Numerous books have been published on the TCP/IP protocol, covering topics such as implementation, security, and calculating subnet masks. However, this book covers all the essential aspects of the TCP/IP protocol, from the TCP/IP protocol model to its actual implementation. The book maintains a high degree of generality to ensure its content can be used in Solaris, Linux, and Windows 2000 environments. It serves as a starting point for those new to the TCP/IP protocol and can also be used as a beginner's textbook. This book is not a comprehensive guide covering all platforms and contents—it's not the kind of book that would require a truck to transport home. However, if you are already familiar with the TCP/IP protocol, this book will be a valuable reference. It will equip you with the tools to explore more aspects of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It can also be used as a starting point for setting up web servers, implementing IPSEC, or selecting enterprise directory systems. As new challenges arise, you can refer back to this book frequently.
The book introduces the OSI reference model, network topology, and other fundamental network knowledge. It also covers each layer of the TCP/IP architecture and how to install and configure TCP/IP in Linux, Unix, or Windows systems. It addresses name resolution-related issues such as hostnames, FQDNs, and NetBIOS. You will learn about remote command tools, web servers, enterprise information services, and other TCP/IP applications in detail. Selecting addressing schemes and designing routing for TCP/IP networks. Planning for the placement of network servers and remote access requirements. Strengthening the security of TCP/IP networks, troubleshooting TCP/IP networks, and monitoring the operation of TCP/IP networks.
