Diverse yet detailed, filled with examples and specific procedures, this is the one book that both the novice and the seasoned professional need to learn UNIX administration and effectively perform their daily system and network-related duties. IPv4, probably the most important networking standard in use, is growing old. It was developed almost 30 years ago and isn't able to cope with the requirements of tomorrow's networks.
IPv6 is the evolution of IPv4. The two protocols are expected to coexist in our networks for many years to come. Many interoperability and transition mechanisms have been developed to ensure a smooth transition. Interoperability and transition mechanisms and scenarios. Quick-start guide to using IPv6 on different operating systems, such as Sun Solaris, Linux, and Windows, and on routers IPv6 Essentials offers a well-organized introduction to IPv6 for experienced network professionals, as well as for administrators, managers, and executives.
It explains the new features and functions of IPv6 and shows the protocol in action, including packet trace files. The book also provides an overview of where the market is, how to register IPv6 address space, and how to get started. Even if you don't plan to roll out IPv6 tomorrow, this book will help you to determine the right moment to integrate it into your corporate network strategy. It uses powerful public key cryptography and works on virtually every platform.
This book is both a readable technical user's guide and a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at cryptography and privacy.
It describes how to use PGP and provides background on cryptography, PGP's history, battles over public key cryptography patents and U.

From lowest to highest, the layers are the link layer, containing communication technologies for a single network segment link ; the internet layer, connecting hosts across independent networks, thus establishing internetworking; the transport layer handling host-to-host communication; and the application layer, which provides process-to-process application data exchange.
The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol, manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message. The lower layer, Internet Protocol, handles the address part of each packet so that it gets to the right destination. Each gateway computer on the network checks this address to see where to forward the message. Even though some packets from the same message are routed differently than others, they'll be reassembled at the destination [1].
These protocols encapsulate the IP packets so that they can be sent over the dial- up phone connection to an access provider's modem [2]. Other protocols are used by network host computers for exchanging router information. In , Robert E. Kahn joined the DARPA Information Processing Technology Office, where he worked on both satellite packet networks and ground-based radio packet networks, and recognized the value of being able to communicate across both. By the summer of , Kahn and Cerf had worked out a fundamental reformulation, in which the differences between network protocols were hidden by using a common internetwork protocol, and, instead of the network being responsible for reliability, as in the ARPANET, the hosts became responsible.
The design of the network included the recognition that it should provide only the functions of efficiently transmitting and routing traffic between end nodes and that all other intelligence should be located at the edge of the network, in the end nodes. Using a simple design, it became possible to connect almost any network to the ARPANET, irrespective of the local characteristics, thereby solving Kahn's initial problem.
A computer called a router is provided with an interface to each network. It forwards packets back and forth between them. Originally a router was called gateway, but the term was changed to avoid confusion with other types of gateways. Its original expression put the maintenance of state and overall intelligence at the edges, and assumed the Internet that connected the edges retained no state and concentrated on speed and simplicity.
Real-world needs for firewalls, network address translators, web content caches and the like have forced changes in this principle. Robustness Principle: "In general, an implementation must be conservative in its sending behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior. That is, it must be careful to send well-formed datagrams, but must accept any datagram that it can interpret. The second part of the principle is almost as important: software on other hosts may contain deficiencies that make it unwise to exploit legal but obscure protocol features.
Encapsulation is usually aligned with the division of the protocol suite into layers of general functionality. In general, an application uses a set of protocols to send its data down the layers, being further encapsulated at each level.
The layers of the protocol suite near the top are logically closer to the user application, while those near the bottom are logically closer to the physical transmission of the data [5]. Viewing layers as providing or consuming a service is a method of abstraction to isolate upper layer protocols from the details of transmitting bits over, for example, Ethernet and collision detection, while the lower layers avoid having to know the details of each and every application and its protocol.
Even when the layers are examined, the assorted architectural documents— there is no single architectural model such as ISO , the Open Systems Interconnection OSI model have fewer and less rigidly defined layers than the OSI model, and thus provide an easier fit for real-world protocols.
It only refers to the existence of the internetworking layer and generally to upper layers; this document was intended as a snapshot of the architecture: "The Internet and its architecture have grown in evolutionary fashion from modest beginnings, rather than from a Grand Plan.
While this process of evolution is one of the main reasons for the technology's success, it nevertheless seems useful to record a snapshot of the current principles of the Internet architecture.
The applications, or processes, make use of the services provided by the underlying, lower layers, especially the Transport Layer which provides reliable or unreliable pipes to other processes. The communications partners are characterized by the application architecture, such as the client-server model and peer-to-peer networking.
Processes are addressed via ports which essentially represent services. It provides a channel for the communication needs of applications. UDP is the basic transport layer protocol, providing an unreliable datagram service. The Transmission Control Protocol provides flow-control, connection establishment, and reliable transmission of data.
It provides a uniform networking interface that hides the actual topology layout of the underlying network connections. It is therefore also referred to as the layer that establishes internetworking, indeed, it defines and establishes the Internet. The primary protocol in this scope is the Internet Protocol, which defines IP addresses.
Its function in routing is to transport datagrams to the next IP router that has the connectivity to a network closer to the final data destination.
