The authors, who have participated in the development and implementation of TCP/IP and OSI standards, begin with an insiders' account of how the standards were developed. They compare the TCP/IP and OSI architectures and then examine each of the protocol layers, using a "top-down" approach, which deals first with the user-visible distributed applications (such as electronic mail, directories, and network management) and then with the way in which these applications are supported by lower-layer networking protocols. For both networking neophytes and experienced networking professionals. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
