If youΓΓé¼Γäóve ever been responsible for a network, you know that sinkingfeeling: your pager has gone off at 2 a.m., the network is broken, and you canΓΓé¼Γäót figure out why by using a dial-in connection from home. You drive into the office, dig out your protocol analyzer, and spend the next fourhours trying to put things back together before the staff shows up for work.When this happens, you often find yourself looking at the low-level guts of the Internet protocols: youΓΓé¼Γäóre deciphering individual packets, trying to figure out what is (or isnΓΓé¼Γäót) happening. Until now, the only real guide to the protocols has been the Internet RFCsΓΓé¼ΓÇ£and theyΓΓé¼Γäóre hardlywhat you want to be reading late at night when your network is down. There hasnΓΓé¼Γäót been a good book on the fundamentals of IP networking aimed at network administratorsΓΓé¼ΓÇ£until now.Internet Core Protocols: The Definitive Guide contains all the information you need for low-level network debugging. It provides thorough coverage of the fundamental protocols in the TCP/IP suite: IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP (in its many variations), and IGMP. (The companion volume, Internet Application Protocols: The Definitive Guide,provides detailed information about the commonly used application protocols, including HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3, and many others). It includes many packet captures, showing you what to look for and how to interpret all the fields. It has been brought up to date with the latest developments in real-world IP networking.
The CD-ROM included with the book contains ShomitiΓΓé¼Γäós ΓΓé¼┼ôSurveyor Lite,ΓΓé¼┬¥ a packet analyzer that runs on Win32 systems, plus the original RFCs, should you need them for reference. Together, this package includes everything you need to troubleshoot your networkΓΓé¼ΓÇ£except coffee.
