The Mcgraw Hill Internetworking Handbook

Here's the definitive reference for networking professionals that takes the complex and often confusing subject of networking and breaks it down topic by topic into easily understood sections. This second edition features new chapters on multimedia, voice, and Intranets, new and updated coverage of Ethernet, Frame Relay and APPN, and a completely updated glossary and acronym list.

A companion reference to the author's Internetworking Handbook that provides network managers a single source for all the major multivendor software commands. File structures of UNIX, MVS, DEC, OS/40 etc., and all the most frequently used commands included in this one-stop, indispensable reference.

This book is supposed to serve as a comprehensive and instructive guide through the new world of digital communication. On the physical layer optical and electrical cabling technology are described as well as wireless communication technologies. On the data link layer local area networks (LANs) are introduced together with the most popular LAN technologies such as Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and ATM as well as wireless LAN technologies including IEEE 802.x, Bluetooth, or ZigBee. A wide range of WAN technologies are covered including contemporary high speed technologies like PDH and SDH up to high speed wireless WANs (WiMAX) and 4th generation wireless telephone networks LTE. Routing technologies conclude the treatment of the data link layer. Next, there is the Internet layer with the Internet protocol IP that establishes a virtual uniform network out of the net of heterogeneous networks. In detail, both versions, IPv4 as well as the successor IPv6 are covered in detail as well as ICMP, NDP, and Mobile IP. In the subsequent transport layer protocol functions are provided to offer a connection-oriented and reliable transport service on the basis of the simple and unreliable IP. The basic protocols TCP and UDP are introduced as well as NAT, the network address translation. Beside transport layer security protocols like SSL and TLS are presented. On the upmost application layer popular Internet application protocols are described like DNS, SMTP, PGP, (S)FTP, NFS, SSH, DHCP, SNMP, RTP, RTCP, RTSP, and World Wide Web.

The Information System Consultant's Handbook familiarizes systems analysts, systems designers, and information systems consultants with underlying principles, specific documentation, and methodologies. Corresponding to the primary stages in the systems development life cycle, the book divides into eight sections: Principles Information Gathering and Problem Definition Project Planning and Project Management Systems Analysis Identifying Alternatives Component Design Testing and Implementation Operation and Maintenance Eighty-two chapters comprise the book, and each chapter covers a single tool, technique, set of principles, or methodology. The clear, concise narrative, supplemented with numerous illustrations and diagrams, makes the material accessible for readers - effectively outlining new and unfamiliar analysis and design topics.

If you want to take advantage of all the power and versatility of local area networks (LANs), this book will show you how to do it in a logical, step-by-step manner. Included is complete information on LAN hardware and software that will enable you to decide if you need a LAN, and if so, how to go about purchasing, installing and using it effectively. The McGraw-Hill LAN Communications Handbook defines the key terms and components of LAN technology, and clearly shows how LANs can contribute to productivity, creativity, and competitive advantage in the workplace. You'll get an objective overview of the strengths and weaknesses of all major LAN vendors. There is detailed coverage of the pros and cons of the Ethernet Access Method, the Token Ring Access Method, LAN Internetworking, and the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). This expert guide also examines the latest wiring standards ... LAN servers, operating systems, and management techniques ... and how theory is implemented in practice, including the ISO model and how it applies specifically to LANs. It's all here in one convenient reference source - everything you need to put LAN technology to work for you!

The only source that focuses exclusively on engineering and technology, this important guide maps the dynamic and changing field of information sources published for engineers in recent years. Lord highlights basic perspectives, access tools, and English-language resources—directories, encyclopedias, yearbooks, dictionaries, databases, indexes, libraries, buyer's guides, Internet resources, and more. Substantial emphasis is placed on digital resources. The author also discusses how engineers and scientists use information, the culture and generation of scientific information, different types of engineering information, and the tools and resources you need to locate and access that material. Other sections describe regulations, standards and specifications, government resources, professional and trade associations, and education and career resources. Engineers, scientists, librarians, and other information professionals working with engineering and technology information will welcome this research
