5.0 out of 5 stars
Advanced lab-based networking guide, July 23, 2006
This review is from: TCP/IP Essentials: A Lab-Based Approach (Paperback)
If you plan to build a computer networking lab to endorse your undergraduate and graduate courses about TCP/IP networking you should first read this book.
This is not a self-contained introductory-level book about TCP/IP. If that's what you need, then take a glance at Jeanna Matthews' book about Computer Networks in action.
This book gets far beyond, covering TCP/IP essentials, including a very useful introduction to networking in Unix/Linux, interconnection topics at the link layer level, for example Spanning Tree, and also at the network layer level, including router configuration and routing protocols (RIP, OSPF....) and security basics. It also includes an appendix which some hints about what problems you must face creating your networking lab.
Every chapter is full of practical exercises with detailed commands and configurations, along with explanatory graphics. It also provides printed source code in C to implement some useful network applications for the exercises.
