- Enables readers to both manage and control the operation and utilization of networks
- Includes information on data flows, routing protocols and IP address classes
TCP/IP is the standardized protocol of the Internet, and there are numerous management issues associated with the
construction and operation of its networks. A detailed and topical text, this indispensable volume examines these
issues, with areas discussed ranging from the planning behind the assignment of TC/ICP addresses, to the ability to
recognize network problems, and the appropriate use of diagnostic tools to discover their cause.
Written in a highly accessible style, it will appeal to a broad audience, including professionals in the field of
data communications and computer science, LAN administrators, network managers, and network analysts, designers and
engineers. It is also an essential source of research for electrical and electronic engineering, computer science
and communications students.
