Save a fortune: Use Linux to deliver cost-effective, reliable routing services.
Linux routers are inexpensive, flexible, stable, adaptable, expandable, easy to manage, and based on proven technology. In Linux Routers, Second Edition, Tony Mancill shows you exactly how to configure, administer, and troubleshoot Linux routing for today's most common internetworking applications. Thoroughly updated for the latest technologies and version 2.4 of the Linux kernel, this edition includes practical coverage of dynamic routing, Quality of Service (QoS)—even next-generation IPv6 routing. Mancill's step-by-step explanations walk you through:
- Choosing the right Linux software distribution and hardware platform
- Building Ethernet LAN routers, including coverage of the Linux Router Project (LRP)
- Implementing Internet, extranet, and Frame Relay routing
- Creating VPN tunneling routers with iproute2 and FreeS/WAN

- Providing routing services alongside Web and DNS services on a single platform
- Monitoring Linux routers and maximizing availability in production environments
