Abstract

From the Publisher:David Piscitello and Lyman Chapin can offer a historical perspective possible only from experts who have participated in the development and implementation of TCP/IP and OSI standards. This book opens with their fascinating insiders' account of how the standards were developed, which sets the stage for the very practical information that follows. They compare the TCP/IP and OSI architectures and then examine each of the protocol layers, using a "top-down" approach, which deals first with the user-visible distributed applications (such as electronic mail, directories, and network management) and then with the way in which these applications are supported by lower-layer networking protocols. Specifically, the book compares: OSI X.400 MHS and Internet mail (SMTP/822) OSI X.500 directory and the domain name system OSI common management and simple network-management protocol OSI transports and transmissions-control protocol (TCP) OSI and Internet datagrams (CLNP and IP) and routing Equipped with the information in this landmark book, you will be able to cut through the political rhetoric of the open systems debate and apply the authors' hard-won practical assessment of TCP/IP and OSI to the real-world task of building, operating, and using networks. "Open Systems Networking by David M. Piscitello and A. Lyman Chapin is a unique book that explains, compares, and contrasts in parallel the OSI-and TCP/IP-based network layers, routing, directory services, and management." -Dr. Dobb's Journal "Open Systems Networking is a long-overdue work. No author has explained TCP/IP and OSI as understandablyand objectively as Piscitello and Chapin do in this book." -Network Computing
