This online book is
a structured, introductory approach to the basic concepts and principles of the
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite, how the
most important protocols function, and their basic configuration in the
Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, and Windows Server
2003 families of operating systems.Covered topics are: Introduction to TCP/IP,
Architectural Overview of the TCP/IP Protocol Suite, IP Addressing, Subnetting,
IP Routing, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Host Name Resolution, Domain
Name System Overview, Windows Support for DNS, TCP/IP End-to-End Delivery,
NetBIOS over TCP/IP, Windows Internet Name Service Overview, Internet Protocol
Security and Packet Filtering, Virtual Private Networking, IPv6 Transition
Technologies.
The Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) is one of the main protocols of the Internet protocol suite.
Topics covered includes: Historical origin, Network function, TCP segment
structure, Protocol operation, Vulnerabilities, TCP ports, Development, TCP over
wireless networks, Hardware implementations, Debugging, Checksum computation.
This note covers the following
topics: Basics of TCP/IP networks: Issues in layering, Switching and Scheduling:
Medium access, switching, queueing and scheduling, Routing and Transport:
Addressing, routing, TCP variants and congestion control, Applications and
Security: Sockets, RPC, firewalls and cryptography.
