An ideal follow-up to \u003ci\u003ePacket Guide to Core Network Protocols\u003c\/i\u003e, this concise guide dissects several of these protocols to explain their structure and operation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis isn't a book on packet theory. Author Bruce Hartpence built topologies in a lab as he wrote this guide, and each chapter includes several packet captures. You'll learn about protocol classification, static vs. dynamic topologies, and reasons for installing a particular route. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guide covers: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHost routing\u003c\/b\u003e--Process a routing table and learn how traffic starts out across a network \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStatic routing\u003c\/b\u003e--Build router routing tables and understand how forwarding decisions are made and processed \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpanning Tree Protocol\u003c\/b\u003e--Learn how this protocol is an integral part of every network containing switches \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVirtual Local Area Networks\u003c\/b\u003e--Use VLANs to address the limitations of layer 2 networks \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTrunking\u003c\/b\u003e--Get an indepth look at VLAN tagging and the 802.1Q protocol \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRouting Information Protocol\u003c\/b\u003e--Understand how this distance vector protocol works in small, modern communication networks \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOpen Shortest Path First\u003c\/b\u003e--Discover why convergence times of OSPF and other link state protocols are improved over distance vectors \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Hartpence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1449306551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781449306557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e O'Reilly Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Bruce Hartpence","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935858688255,"sku":"9781449306557","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d7835090-ee33-486b-8852-58c4a9b6fb8c.jpg?v=1681422232","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/packet-guide-to-routing-and-bruce-hartpence-9781449306557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
