Overview

In just 24 sessions of one hour or less, you will discover how to implement, monitor, and manage any TCP/IP network - even new cloud-based and IPv6 networks. Using this book's straightforward, step-by-step approach, you'll learn hands-on, through practical examples. Expert author and network engineer Joe Casad guides TCP/IP newcomers from the absolute basics to advanced techniques and concepts, covering all this and more: -What TCP/IP is and how it works -IPv6 and IPv4: differences, similarities, coexistence, and migration -Flexible addressing with subnetting and CIDR -Efficient routing, connections, and name resolution -Network security and encryption -Automatic client and host configuration -Internet/web services -TCP/IP in cloud environments -Streaming media and webcasting -HTML5 WebSockets -TCP/IP over wireless -Monitoring/troubleshooting -Step-by-step network implementation Every lesson builds on prior chapters, providing a solid foundation for success. Easy instructions walk through key tasks... quizzes and exercises test knowledge... dozens of tips offer insider advice, and "Watch Out!" alerts help you avoid problems. By the time you're finished, you won't just know the essentials: you'll be comfortable building and running real-world networks.

Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: What Is TCP/IP

TCP/IP is a protocol system-a collection of protocols that support network communications. The answer to the question What is a protocol? must begin with the question What is a network?

This hour describes what a network is and shows why networks need protocols. You'll also learn what TCP/IP is, what it does, and where it began.

At the completion of this hour, you'll be able to

Define network
Explain what a network protocol suite is
Explain what TCP/1P is
Discuss the history of TCP/IP
List some important features of TCP/1P
Identify the organizations that oversee TCP/IP and the Internet
Explain what RFCs are and where to find them

Networks and Protocols

A network is a collection of computers or computer-like devices that can communicate across a common transmission medium, as shown in Figure 1. 1.

In a network, requests and data from one computer pass across the transmission medium (which might be a network cable or a phone line) to another computer. In Figure 1.1, computer A must be able to send a message or request to computer B. Computer B must be able to understand computer A's message and respond to it by sending a message back to computer A.

A computer interacts with the world through one or more applications that perform specific tasks and manage input and output. If that computer is part of a network, some of those applications must be capable of communicating with applications on other network computers. A network protocol suite is a system of common rules that helps to define the complex process of transferring data. The data travels from an application on one computer, through the computer's network hardware, across the transmission medium to the correct destination, and up through the destination computer's network hardware to a receiving application (see Figure 1.2).

The protocols of TCP/IP define the network communication process and, more importantly, define how a unit of data should look and what information it should contain so that a receiving computer can interpret the message correctly. TCP/IP and its related protocols form a complete system defining how data should be processed, transmitted, and received on a TCP/IP network. A system of related protocols, such as the TCP/IP protocols, is called a protocol suite.

The actual act of formatting and processing TCP/IP transmissions is performed by a software component that is known as the vendor's implementation of TCP/IP. For instance, Microsoft TCP/IP is a software component that enables Windows NT to process TCP/IPformatted data and thus to participate in a TCP/IP network. As you read this book, be aware of the following distinction:

A TCP/IP standard is a system of rules defining communication on TCP/IP networks.
A TCP/IP implementation is a software component that performs the

functions that enable a computer to participate in a TCP/IP network. The purpose of the TCP/IP standards is to ensure the compatibility of all TCP/IP implementations regardless of version or vendor.

I Also Recommend:

Not bad, Errata, Nothing Changed

There is nothing changed between 4th edition and this 5th edition. On first page, few words are missing from sentences. 1st page - errata!

Sometimes the Author communicate in fair English and sometimes in more technical standard. Particularly in dealing with Sub-nets, IP address, I've to spend sometime on Wiki to understand it.

For absolute beginners, this is not a essential book. I suggest this book: Microsoft Windows Networking Essentials

For full depth details on TCP/IP or Other Protocols, go with other books.
