The former senior network engineer at NASA explains what the Internet Protocol (IP) is, why it was developed, and how it works. Internet addressing is defined in terms of address classes, routing tables, subnet masks/VLSM, CIDR, and the challenge of scalability. The routing domains and protocols described include OSPF, RIP, and BGP-4. The author also explains how IP operates over Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, PPP, and Frame Relay; how IP addressing and routing interrelate; and the implications of BGP-4 for edge customers.
