Synopsis

Covering everything needed to implement the server side of client/server computing, this comprehensive introduction explains how to connect multiple computing platforms using a client/server architecture. The book covers the entire range of hardware (bridges, hubs, routers, etc.) and software (HP's OpenView, NetView/6000) that must interrelate to make the communications side of the C/S paradigm work. Fully illustrated and loaded with extensive applications cases, Client/Server Internetworking includes important network management material on SNMP, OpenView, and NetView/6000, and details both TCP/IP and SNA/APPN networks for network administrators, network analysts, and network designers.

About this title

From the Back Cover

A step-by-step guide to connectivity communications, and internetworking. Client/server technology requires a practical understanding of two distinct disciplines: data and connectivity. And, while there are many references devoted to the data/application aspect of this technology, this is the first book that focuses on how to connect multiple platforms using a client/server architecture. Written in a lucid, jargon-free style that will be accessible even by novices in this area, this book provides a remarkably thorough overview of the entire range of hardware (bridges, hubs, routers, etc.) and software that must interrelate to make the communications side of the client/server paradigm operate correctly. Full of illustrations, specific examples, and practical advice, the text covers such critical connectivity topics as: SNMP, OpenView, and NetView/6000; TCP/IP and SNA/APPN networks; available and emerging internetworking architectures; protocol choices and capabilities; implementing C/S internetworking schemes; access methods and data synchronization; applications using the internetworked facilites. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bud Bates is President of TC International Consulting, Inc., in Phoenix, Arizona. He frequently consults and lectures worldwide on computer communications topics. Books he has previously authored for McGraw-Hill include Wireless Networked Communications, Discovery Recovery for LANs, Disaster Recovery Planning (Telecommunications) and Data Communications Handbook.
