Overview
TCP/IP and UNIX, both born in the research community, have experienced phenomenal growth and commercial success over the past decade. TCP/IP is the network protocol family of choice on the Internet, the largest and fastest growing data communications network in the world today. UNIX systems, with their mature support of TCP/IP, are a central and growing part of many organizations' networking strategy. Through a careful blend of network theory and practice, these two network authorities provide readers with the knowledge to understand what TCP/IP is, how it works, and how to use it to build practical and working network systems that are both extensible and maintainable. Practical Internetworking with TCP/IP and UNIX, the third in the new UNIX and Open Systems Series by Addison-Wesley, describes in detail how to set up and manage a TCP/IP network using the tools available within the UNIX operating system. Systems designers, network administrators, and system programmers will find the TCP/IP knowledge they need in this concise volume. Gives a concise foundation in TCP/IP fundamentals, provides extensive coverage of electronic mail configuration in a complex networking environment, explains how to set up and manage an operational TCP/IP network, describes the integration of Apple Macintoshes and IBM PCs, and illustrates network management techniques and how to diagnose and solve common network problems.Two of the industry's top consultants provide a practical approach to implementing and managing an effective TCP/IP network that is compatible with other networks. System designers, network administrators, and system programmers alike, will appreciate the extensive coverage offered here of such design and management issues as how to configure electronic mail in a complex networking environment.
