Network Protocol Handbook

by Matthew G. Naugle, Matthew Naugle

The only network protocol reference of its type, this handbook details the most common protocols currently in use by most networked sites. Using a unique one-chapter-per-protocol format, the Handbook covers Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Xerox Network System (XNS), Internet Packet Exchange/Sequence Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX), DECnet Phase IV/Local Area Transport (LAT), IEEE 802.2, and Open Systems Interconnection (OS/GOSIP). Explaining how these protocols operate, the book helps network managers, administrators, and MIS staff/systems analysts fully understand the theories and practicalities for network protocol stacks.
