![]() ![]() Perlman, inventor of the spanning-tree bridging algorithm, covers the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) reference model, bridges, switches, hubs, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), plus connection-based and connectionless networks. Radia Perlman explains hundreds of details about getting computers-and networks of them-to talk to one another smoothly, accurately and efficiently. This latest release of Interconnections is a competent update of A networking classic. ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. The book contains extensive coverage of such topics as: *The spanning tree algorithm *The differences between bridges, routers, and switches *Virtual LANs (VLANs) and Fast Ethernet *Addressing and packet formats for IP, IPv6, IPX, CLNP, AppleTalk, and DECnet *Autoconfiguration of addresses strategies in various protocol suites *Routing protocols, including RIP, IS-IS, OSPF, PNNI, NLSP, and BGP *Layer 3 multicast protocols, including IGMP, DVMRP, MOSPF, CBT, PIM, BGMP, Simple Multicast, and Express *Sabotage-proof routing *Protocol design folklore 0201634481B04062001 Perlman describes all of the major networking algorithms and protocols in use today in clear and concise terms, while exploring the engineering trade-offs that the different approaches represent. Written by the inventor of many of the algorithms that make switching and routing robust and efficient, Interconnections, Second Edition offers an expert's insight into how and why networks operate as they do. You will gain a deeper understanding of the range of solutions possible and find valuable information on protocols for which documentation is not readily available elsewhere. Additional new topics include IPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet. This Second Edition is expanded and updated to cover the newest developments in the field, including advances in switching and bridge technology, VLANs, Fast Ethernet, DHCP, ATM, and IPv6. It provides authoritative and comprehensive information on general networking concepts, routing algorithms and protocols, addressing, and the mechanics of bridges, routers, switches, and hubs. ![]() “Start out with finding the right problem to solve.Radia Perlman's Interconnections is recognized as a leading text on networking theory and practice. Her advice to young coders during an interview with ITworld? Perlman has continued her work on network design throughout her life, including writing and co-writing textbooks on the subject like “Interconnections” and “Network Security.” Among her many accolades and awards, she’s been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the Internet Hall of Fame. STP changed the way the internet runs, many dubbing Perlman “the mother of the internet,” a title she disputes saying, “I did indeed make some fundamental contributions to the underlying infrastructure, but no single technology really caused the Internet to succeed.” In 1984, while working as a consulting engineer at the Digital Equipment Corporation, she was tasked with developing a system for file sharing between computers and came up with STP, which enables networks to deliver data and avoid loops. in math and ultimately get a Ph.D in computer science. I assumed I'd either get electrocuted or I'd break something.” As an undergraduate at MIT, Perlman developed a child-friendly version of the the educational robotics language LOGO entitled Toddler's Own Recursive Turtle Interpreter System, or TORTIS, to help young children learn to program. “It never occurred to me to take anything apart. “I was not a hands-on type person,” she’s said of her years prior to the experience. It wasn’t until she signed up for a programming class in high school that Perlman began to seriously consider a career in computers. ![]() It was the arts, however, that truly drew her in, a fan of classical music who played both piano and the French horn and wrote her own compositions. Growing up in New Jersey, she was the best science and math student in her school. An American computer programmer whose work hugely influenced the way network security is taught, Perlman has more than one hundred patents to her name. Perlman famously invented STP, one of the building blocks of the internet. “I think that I shall never see, a graph more lovely than a tree,” said Radia Perlman in her poem about a solution to file sharing between computers called the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). ![]()
