Klappentext

In 1994, W. Richard Stevens published a networking classic TCP/IP Illustrated (AW). The model for that book was a show-and-tell approach to networking concepts that has proven itself over time to be popular with readers of beginning to intermediate networking knowledge. Walter Goralski's The Illustrated Network takes this time-honored approach and modernizes it by creating not only a much larger and more complicated network, but also by taking into account all the networking advancements that have taken place since the mid-1990s, which are many. This book updates the popular Stevens approach by employing 2008 equipment, operating systems, and router vendors. It presents an "illustrated" explanation of how TCP/IP works with consistent examples from a real, working network configuration that includes servers, routers, and workstations. Diagnostic traces allow the reader to follow the discussion with unprecedented clarity and precision.
