DESCRIPTION:
If it were a song, I'd give it a Grammy!!! As an intermediate to accomplished unix user, I found this book to be by far the best book on unix networking. Newcomers to networking will discover a pearl of great price. The author is truly an expert in the subject matter, and presents it in a clear and understandable fashion. The diagrams in the earlier chapters are priceless in solidifying understanding of TCP/IP stack, other protocols, and how they function. Excellent reference for beginners to intermediate users This is an excellent reference for beginners through intermediate level, the information is presented in a logical progression in clear, concise language. A BIG plus is that all pertinant RFCs are referenced, so the reader can go directly to the source for in depth explanations on a particular topic. All the fundamentals are covered (Ethernet, TCP/IP, NIS, NFS). I bought this book several years ago when I first b. Lacks the detail to make it the "go to" guide. This is a good reference for those looking for a "how to" guide on basic networking. If you want to become a "guru", this book is not for you.
You'll find fine explanations of setting up a Domain Name System (DNS) server, configuring a Network Information Service (NIS), establishing a Network File System (NFS), and using remote management utilities. . Instead, the book plunges right into the mechanics of setting up a Unix machine for operation on a network. This is the book you need if you're planning to build a Unix server on your intranet or, especially, on the Internet. There's also useful information about using a Reverse Address Resolution Server (RARP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), coverage of how Unix boxes deal with dialup protocols, and quite a bit more. When used in conjunction with a general Unix reference, Unix Networking will help you get your big iron connected to the world. Networking Unix spends a minimal amount of time talking about network generalities
