TCP/IP Foundations

ISBN: 0782143709



The world of IT is always evolving, but in every area there are stable, core concepts that anyone just setting out needed to know last year, needs to know this year, and will still need to know next year. The purpose of the Foundations series is to identify these concepts and present them in a way that gives you the strongest possible starting point, no matter what your endeavor.

TCP/IP Foundations provides essential knowledge about the two protocols that form the basis for the Internet, as well as many other networks. What you learn here will benefit you in the short term, as you acquire and practice your skills, and in the long term, as you use them.

Topics covered include:

- The origins of TCP/IP and the Internet
- The layers comprising the OSI and DoD models
- TCP/IP addressing
- Subnet masks
- Creating custom subnet masks
- Supernetting and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
- Name resolution
- The Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic DNS
- Windows Internet Naming Services (WINS)
- The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
- What to expect with IPv6

In today’s world, where computer viruses and security threats are common themes in
anything from Hollywood movies and TV advertisements to political discussions, it seems
unthinkable to ignore security considerations in the design and implementation of any
network. However, it is only in the past 4–5 years that talkative security experts have been
invited to the design table from the start. The common thinking only 5 years ago was either:
this is somebody else’s problem or let us design the major functionalities first, then bring in a
cryptographer to secure it! This treatment of security as an add-on feature typically led either
to design delays, overheads and extra costs when the “feature” had to be included, or to
ignored security provisioning when the “feature” was not a must. The problem, of course,
stemmed from the fact that security “features” have rarely been revenue-makers. As we all
know, many political, social and economic events in the last half decade have forced the
designers, regulators and businessmen to adjust their attitudes towards security considerations.
People realized that although security measures are not revenue-makers, their lack is
indeed a deal breaker, to say the least, or has catastrophic aftermaths, at worst.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has also played an important role in establishing
the aforementioned trend by making a few bold moves. The rejection of some very
high profile specifications due to the lack of proper security considerations was a message to
the industry that security is not to be taken lightly. This was done in a dot.com era where the
Internet and its applications seemed to have no boundaries and security provisioning seemed
to be only a barrier rather than an enabler.
