Description
The Packet Guide to Core Network Protocols provides an in-depth exploration of the core Internet protocols that enable data packet transmission between networks. This updated edition delves into the operation basics and security risks of each protocol, as well as the function of network hardware such as switches and routers.
With a focus on beginning network engineers, this book includes review questions and practical lab exercises to help solidify understanding. Topics covered include basic network architecture, the structure and operation of the Ethernet protocol, TCP/IP protocol fields, and the address resolution process in IPv4 networks.
Practical details are also provided on switches, routers, packet content, client-server packet flow, Internet Control Message Protocol error messages, and the use of network masks to determine subnets. The user datagram protocol is examined in detail, covering its operation, structure, and common uses.
