Book description
Today, the internet and computer networking are essential parts of
business, learning, and personal communications and entertainment.
Virtually all messages or transactions sent over the internet are
carried using internet infrastructure- based on advanced internet
protocols. Advanced internet protocols ensure that both public and
private networks operate with maximum performance, security, and flexibility.
This book is intended to provide a comprehensive technical overview
and survey of advanced internet protocols, first providing a solid
introduction and going on to discuss internetworking technologies,
architectures and protocols. The book also shows application of the
concepts in next generation networks and discusses protection and
restoration, as well as various tunnelling protocols and
applications. The book ends with a thorough discussion of emerging topics.
