From the Inside Flap

Preface

This book is one in a series of books called, "Advanced Communications Technologies." As the name of the book implies, the focus is on the Internet architecture and the principal protocols that make up this architecture. The book is an expansion of Advanced Features of the Internet, also part of this series.

The book has been written for this series to act as the introduction to the other more advanced Internet topics. As such, it is written for the person who is new to the Internet protocols, but it assumes the reader has had some experience in data communications.

I hope you find this book a valuable addition to your library.Acknowledgments

I have relied on examples from several organizations and individuals for some of my explanations. I would like to thank Buck Graham once again, who has written TCP/IP Addressing, published by AP Professional. It is the best book on the market on IP addressing and subnet addressing. I would also like to thank the authors of Fast Ethernet, Liam B. Quinn and Richard G. Russell (John Wiley & Sons, Inc), and Internet Routing Architectures, by Bassam Halabi, and published by Cisco Press. I cite these authors in the appropriate parts of the book.

I have relied on the Internet Request for Comments (RFCs), published by the Internet Society, and I thank this organization for making the RFCs available to the public.
