Book Description

Publication Date: October 28, 2003 | ISBN-10: 0750658061 | ISBN-13: 978-0750658065 | Edition: 1

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet. TCP/IP uses several protocols, the two main ones being TCP and IP. TCP/IP is built into the UNIX operating system and is used by the Internet, making it the de facto standard for transmitting data over networks. The TCP/IP suite of protocols has become a dominant technology due to its widespread use and reliability, while Ethernet is fast becoming a de facto industrial networking standard.

* A practical hands-on book that covers troubleshooting and maintenance of TCP/IP networks
* Provides a solid understanding of the application of TCP/IP from an engineering perspective
* Complete coverage from networking fundamentals to Internet-enabled control systems

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet. TCP/IP uses several protocols, the two main ones being TCP and IP. TCP/IP is built into the UNIX operating system and is used by the Internet, making it the de facto standard for transmitting data over networks. The TCP/IP suite of protocols has become a dominant technology due to its widespread use and reliability, while Ethernet is fast becoming a de facto industrial networking standard.

There is a strong need for a book covering TCP/IP, Ethernet and related topics from the perspective of an engineer rather than that of an IT professional. Practical TCP/IP and Ethernet Networking for Industry has been structured to cover the main areas of TCP/IP and Ethernet in detail, while going through the practical implementation of TCP/IP in office and industrial applications as well as the practical use of the Internet and Intranets.

This review is from: Practical TCP/IP and Ethernet Networking for Industry (Practical Professional Books) (Paperback)

Overall I thought this book was fairly easy to read, comprehensive, and well organized. However, there are several easy to spot typos and one or two mathematical goofs (2^24 does not equal 16,777,218.) The high error rate in printing of the book that I have, and no apparent online errata listing, makes me feel like doublechecking any fine details I might use from the book.
