Introduction to Networking and Data Communications

EBook Description: Data Communications is the transfer of data or information between a source and a receiver. The source transmits the data and the receiver receives it. The actual generation of the information is not part of Data Communications nor is the resulting action of the information at the receiver. Data Communication is interested in the transfer of data, the method of transfer and the preservation of the data during the transfer process. In Local Area Networks, we are interested in 'connectivity', connecting computers together to share resources. Even though the computers can have different disk operating systems, languages, cabling and locations, they still can communicate to one another and share resources. The purpose of Data Communications is to provide the rules and regulations that allow computers with different disk operating systems, languages, cabling and locations to share resources. The rules and regulations are called protocols and standards in Data Communications.

Directories are key for a successful IT operation in medium and large environments. IBM understands this requirement and supports it by providing directory implementations based on industry standards at no additional cost on all its major platforms and even important non-IBM platforms. The IBM SecureWay Directory, formerly known as the IBM eNetwork LDAP Directory, implements the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) standard that has emerged quickly in the past years as a result of the demand for such a standard. This redbook will help you understand, install, and configure the IBM SecureWay Directory. It is targeted at system specialists who need to know the concepts and the detailed instructions for a successful LDAP implementation.

Understanding LDAP - Design and Implementation

This IBM Redbook will help you create a foundation of LDAP skills, as well as install and configure the IBM Directory Server. It is targeted at security architects and specialists who need to know the concepts and the detailed instructions for a successful LDAP implementation.

Zen and the Art of the Internet

A 1992 book on Internet technologies.

Internetwork Design Guide

This publication provides internetworking design and implementation information and helps you identify and implement practical internetworking strategies that are both flexible and scalable. This publication was developed to assist professionals preparing for Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) candidacy, though it is a valuable resource for all internetworking professionals. It is designed for use in conjunction with other Cisco manuals or as a standalone reference. You may find it helpful to refer to the Internetworking Case Studies, which provides case studies and examples of the network design strategies described in this book.

Internetwork Troubleshooting Handbook

Because of the rapid and ongoing developments in the field of networking, accurate troubleshooting information is an ever sought-after commodity. Because of this, the Cisco Press Internetworking Troubleshooting Handbook is a valuable resource for networking professionals throughout the industry. For the second edition of this book, we gathered together a team of troubleshooting experts who thoroughly revised the material in each of the technology areas to include the most current and relevant troubleshooting information and solutions available today. Their goal and ours was to provide networking professionals with a guide containing solutions to the problems encountered in the field in a format that is easy to apply. We hope that this publication meets that goal.

DNS for rocket scientists

This guide is about DNS and (mostly) BIND 9.x on Linux (REDHAT Versions 6.x and 7.x) and the BSDs (FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD). It is meant for newbies, rocket scientist wannabees and anyone in between.

Learning by Doing CCNA Textbook

This manual was developed to prepare students for hands-on training to accompany classroom lectures on CISCO networking theory for the CISCO CCNA 3.0 (#640-607) examination. These labs are intended to supplement and enhance the Cisco Networking Academy Program with additional information, explanations, and laboratory materials, not to replace them. If you are looking for a lot of theory, then you have got the wrong book.

Tracing Anonymous Packets to Their Approximate Source

One of the major problems on the Internet today is denial of service (DoS) attacks against machines and networks. As opposed to other types of attacks, DoS attacks attempt to limit access to a machine or service instead of subverting the service itself. DoS attacks are simple to design and implement, and there is a plethora of readily available source code which will perform the task. DoS attacks send a stream of packets at a victim that swamps his network or processing capacity, denying access to his regular clients.
