The Internet and Its Protocols

Informationen zum Autor Adrian Farrel has nearly two decades of experience designing and developing portable communications software. As MPLS Architect and Development Manager at Data Connection Ltd., he led a team that produced a carrier-class MPLS implementation for customers in the router space. As Director of Protocol Development for Movaz Networks, Inc., he helped build a cutting-edge system that integrated many IP-based protocols to control and manage optical switches. Adrian is active within the IETF, where he is co-chair of the CCAMP working group responsible for GMPLS. He has co-authored and contributed to numerous Internet Drafts and RFCs on MPLS, GMPLS, and related technologies. He was a founding board member of the MPLS Forum, frequently speaks at conferences, and is the author of several white papers on GMPLS. Klappentext The view presented in "The Internet and Its Protocols" is at once broad and deep. It covers all the common protocols and how they combine to create the Internet in its totality. More importantly! it describes each one completely! examining the requirements it addresses and the exact means by which it does its job. Zusammenfassung Explores how common protocols combine to create Internet in its totality. This book offers comparative coverage of the Internet Protocol (both IPv4 and IPv6) and its many related technologies. It discusses major concepts in traffic engineering! providing detailed looks at MPLS and GMPLS and how they control both IP and non-IP traffic.

Klappentext

The view presented in "The Internet and Its Protocols" is at once broad and deep. It covers all the common protocols and how they combine to create the Internet in its totality. More importantly, it describes each one completely, examining the requirements it addresses and the exact means by which it does its job.

Zusammenfassung
Explores how common protocols combine to create Internet in its totality. This book offers comparative coverage of the Internet Protocol (both IPv4 and IPv6) and its many related technologies. It discusses major concepts in traffic engineering, providing detailed looks at MPLS and GMPLS and how they control both IP and non-IP traffic.
