Synopsis

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a set of computer-to-computer data communications protocols first developed in the late 1970s. TCP/IP is the basis of the Internet, and has gained ground as a replacement for proprietary networking protocols. Addressing within a TCP/IP network has become a growing concern for networking managers.
A concise handbook on how to design optimal IP addressing schemes that take into account network growth, address utilization, routing efficiency, and ease of administration. It is written for networking professionals who are responsible for designing or maintaining a TCP/IP network. The book covers such topics as host versus network addressing, special case addressing, efficiency and optimization, IP address subnetting, and Classless Interdomain Routing. It also provides tutorials to help thoroughly explain these concepts.

* Windows-compatible address visualizing tool available on APPNET
* Coverage of Ipv6, with recommendations for migrating to Ipv6 addresses

About this title

From the Back Cover

Buck Graham's authoritative work is now available in this second edition, revised and updated to reflect the latest changes in networking technology. Written as an introduction for novices and a concise reference for seasoned professionals, this is the only book devoted entirely to establishing and maintaining an efficient IP addressing scheme.

Master the Fundamentals

You'll find complete coverage of all TCP/IP addressing fundamentals, including IP subnetting and addressing issues pertaining to network devices, routing, and common network topologies. All chapters conclude with practice questions that reinforce what you learn.

Assess Your Organization's Needs

Emphasizing careful needs assessment, Graham shows you how to take into account special issues such as Internet connectivity, route table efficiency, and high utilization. With his help, you'll devise the addressing scheme that meets current needs and will keep pace with network growth.

Tackle Advanced Issues

Finally, you get expert instruction that helps you tackle advanced TCP/IP addressing challenges-including IP multicast, mobile IP, and techniques supported by the latest version of the Internet Protocol, IPv6.
