Synopsis:

Internetworking Technologies Handbook, Second Edition is a comprehensive guide detailing available internetworking alternatives. It provides you with the most current technologies for wide area networks (WANs) and teaches how to effectively implement these technologies on a network. After reading this book, you will possess a greater understanding of local and wide area networking and the hardware, protocols, and services involved. Hence, you will be able to make more intelligent, cost-effective and quantifiable networking decisions for your environment.

Review: This is it. Internetworking Technologies Handbook represents conventional wisdom about the universe of Cisco Systems data-networking products (with the exception of voice-over-IP products), condensed into a single volume. You ought to have this book on hand for frequent consultation if you are engaged in running local- or wide-area networks (LANs or WANs) that are equipped with Cisco hardware. Don't be concerned with the question of whether your data-networking environment is sufficiently complex to merit investment in this book, as operators of even the simplest set-ups will benefit from this authoritative work. Though it's not meant as a study aid, this book will prove helpful to candidates studying for Cisco professional certifications. Review questions at the end of each chapter bolster that application.

This book's greatest strength may be its authors' assumption of compartmentalised knowledge among their readers. The authors have (correctly) organised their work around the idea that someone who knows, for example, IP addressing rules backwards and forwards may not know much at all about the telephony services that local-exchange carriers (LECs) sell. As a result of this editorial decision, chapters are technically deep but easy to get into. Numerous conceptual diagrams clarify hard-to-visualise phenomena, while frequent references to RFCs and other standards documents facilitate primary research where the reader requires it. This latest edition reflects changes to the Cisco data-networking product line as of the last quarter of 2000. --David Wall

Topics covered: Everything Cisco Systems does to facilitate the efficient flow of data among hosts on networks big and small, except those products that have to do with voice over IP (VOIP). Beginning with the essentials of internetworking and proceeding through LAN and WAN protocols, multiservice access technologies like Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), switching and bridging (with emphasis on virtual LANs), and routing protocols, this book covers the state of the Cisco Systems art.
