Packet Guide to Routing and Switching: Exploring the Network Layer

by Bruce Hartpence

Go beyond layer 2 broadcast domains with this in-depth tour of advanced link and internetwork layer protocols, and learn how they enable you to expand to larger topologies. An ideal follow-up to "Packet Guide to Core Network Protocols," this concise guide dissects several of these protocols to explain their structure and operation.This isn't a book on packet theory. Author Bruce Hartpence built topologies in a lab as he wrote this guide, and each chapter includes several packet captures. You'll learn about protocol classification, static vs. dynamic topologies, and reasons for installing a particular route.This guide Host routing--Process a routing table and learn how traffic starts out across a network Static routing--Build router routing tables and understand how forwarding decisions are made and processed Spanning Tree Protocol--Learn how this protocol is an integral part of every network containing switches Virtual Local Area Networks--Use VLANs to address the limitations of layer 2 networks Trunking--Get an indepth look at VLAN tagging and the 802.1Q protocol Routing Information Protocol--Understand how this distance vector protocol works in small, modern communication networks Open Shortest Path First--Discover why convergence times of OSPF and other link state protocols are improved over distance vectors

Bardzo podstawowa książka o sieciach, nie ma tutaj niczego czego nie byłoby gdzie indziej. Lepiej dołożyć trochę kasy i kupić obszerniejszą. Nie mówię, że jest zła, ale jak ktoś chce się czegoś więcej o sieciach dowiedzieć, to może się zawieść.
