Description
The TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol suite forms the basis for the most widely used networking technologies in the world. This book describes the protocols that make up the TCP/IP protocol suite.Explores TCP/IP architecture; Application Layer protocols and services; Transport Layer protocols; Internet Layer protocols; Internet administration; and client-server programming.For users of a TCP/IP internet; technicians responsible for installing TCP/IP hardware and software products; technical staff members responsible for maintaining and administering a TCP/IP internet; and systems analysts, designers, and programmers who will be designing and implementing client-server applications that use TCP/IP internets for communication.

The TCP/IP protocol suite represents an important technology in today's enterprise networking environment. Describing the protocols that make up the TCP/IP suite, this book provides readers with the background to choose TCP/IP internet hardware and software products to best satisfy their specific requirements. Leading computer authority James Martin and co-author Joe Leben present an overall framework that enables readers to install and maintain specific TCP/IP products.Part I introduces the TCP/IP networking environment and describes the overall architecture of the TCP/IP protocol suite.Part II describes the TCP/IP protocols and services that are employed by end users for doing useful work.Part III examines the two major TCP/IP transport protocols: User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).Part IV investigates the low-level protocols in the TCP/IP protocol suite that are used to provide basic packet delivery facilities.Part V concentrates on network management, administration, and troubleshooting procedures to keep a TCP/IP internet running.Part VI presents the programming techniques that are used in writing application programs that communicate over a TCP/IP internet.
