165 The Complete Guide to LAN Switching Technology
Rich Seifert, James Edwards, "The All-New Switch Book: The Complete Guide to LAN Switching Technology"
The much-anticipated update to the bestselling book on LAN switching
Since the publication of the first edition of The Switch Book seven years ago, LAN switching has witnessed
significant changes, particularly in the areas of network layers, Ethernet, fast Ethernet, segmenting LANs, layer 3
switching, layer 4 switching, and multi-layer switching, to name just a few. With this updated guide, you'll
discover the latest capabilities of LAN switches and get in-depth coverage of the abstract engineering principles
behind switch operations in addition to the practical application of those principles in commercial products.
Coauthored by an innovator who has been at the forefront of networking technology for more than two decades, this
unique resource begins by laying the foundation of the core technologies underlying LAN switch design, including
network architecture, addressing, LAN technology, and LAN standards. Building on those fundamentals, the book goes
on to investigate the many advanced features, as well as the possibilities, that exist in modern switches. From
there, you'll dive into the technical details of transparent bridges as they are used between similar and dissimilar
technologies. You'll learn that, along with the performance advantages that are offered by switches, comes an
increase in features, options, and complexity.
With more than forty percent new and updated material, this second edition of The All-New Switch Book explains:
The problems of link congestion that arise from the deployment of LAN switches
How switches and end stations can use a group of independent LAN segments as if they were a single link
Security concerns that environments need to be aware of, and how to prevent attacks
The concepts and operation of source routing in both end stations and bridges
The various uses for Virtual LANs (VLANs) as well as the key concepts employed by devices that implement VLAN capability

111 OSPF Anatomy of an Internet Routing Protocol
Written for TCP/IP network administrators, protocol designers, and network application developers, this book gives the most complete and practical view ever into the inner workings of Internet routing. The book focuses on OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), a common TCP/IP routing protocol that provides robust and efficient routing support in the most demanding Internet environments. A methodical and detailed description of the protocol is offered and OSPF's role within the wider context of a TCP/IP network is demonstrated.
Practical throughout, the book provides not only a theoretical description of Internet routing, but also a real-world look into how theory translates into practice. It shows how algorithms are implemented, and how the routing protocols function in a working network where transmission lines and routers routinely break down.
You will find clear explanations of such routing fundamentals as how a router forwards packets, IP addressing, CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing), the routing table, Internet routing architecture, and the two main routing technologies: Distance Vector and link-state algorithms. OSPF is discussed in depth, with an examination of the rationale behind OSPF's design decisions and how it has evolved to keep pace with the rapidly changing Internet environment. OSPF topics covered by the book include the following: OSPF areas and virtual links NBMA (Nonbroadcast multi-access) and Point-to-MultiPoint network segments OSPF configuration and management Interaction with other routing protocols OSPF cryptographic authentication OSPF protocol extensions, including the Demand Circuit extensions and the multicast extensions to OSPF (MOSPF) An OSPF FAQ
IP multicast and multicast routing are also discussed. Methods for debugging routing problems are explained, including a catalog of available debugging tools. The book also offers side-by-side comparisons of all the unicast and multicast routing protocols currently in use in the Internet.
You will come away from this book with a sophisticated understanding of Internet routing and of the OSPF protocol in particular. Moreover, the book's practical focus will enable you to put this deeper understanding to work in your network environment.
