About this title

Synopsis

The only network protocol reference of its type, this handbook details the most common protocols currently in use by most networked sites. Using a unique one-chapter-per-protocol format, the Handbook covers Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Xerox Network System (XNS), Internet Packet Exchange/Sequence Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX), DECnet Phase IV/Local Area Transport (LAT), IEEE 802.2, and Open Systems Interconnection (OS/GOSIP). Explaining how these protocols operate, the book helps network managers, administrators, and MIS staff/systems analysts fully understand the theories and practicalities for network protocol stacks.

Packed with how-to information, Network Protocols also delivers all the facts on IPv6, Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), and Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), as well as Token Ring, AppleTalk, XNS, DECnet, LAT, and other workhorses.
