Overview

In 1994, W. Richard Stevens published a networking classic TCP/IP Illustrated (AW). The model for that book was a show-and-tell approach to networking concepts that has proven itself over time to be popular with readers of beginning to intermediate networking knowledge. Walter Goralskis The Illustrated Network takes this time-honored approach and modernizes it by creating not only a much larger and more complicated network, but also by taking into account all the networking advancements that have taken place since the mid-1990s, which are many. This book updates the popular Stevens approach by employing 2008 equipment, operating systems, and router vendors. It presents an illustrated explanation of how TCP/IP works with consistent examples from a real, working network configuration that includes servers, routers, and workstations. Diagnostic traces allow the reader to follow the discussion with unprecedented clarity and precision. True to the title of the book, there are 330+ diagrams and screen shots, as well as topology diagrams and a unique repeating chapter opening diagram. Illustrations are also used as end-of-chapter questions. A complete and modern network was assembled to write this book, with all the material coming from real objects connected and running on the network, not assumptions. Presents a real world networking scenario the way the reader sees them in a device-agnostic world. Doesnt preach one platform or the other.
