Big Book of Boder Gateway Protocol (Bcp) Rfcs

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is literally the backbone upon which the Internet is built. All data transmitted across the Internet are routed from one network to another with BGP, and it is the key to future growth in the Internet. No single document defines BGP, but rather an entire sequence of documents published online as Requests for Comments (RFCs). This book collects and organizes these essential documents in a single printed volume, adding an introduction and extensive index. This means you no longer have to search through various RFCs in hopes of finding the answer to your BGP question - all the current and relevant RFCs are compiled here, with an extensive index that makes it simple to locate precisely the answer you need. Taken together, the BGP RFCs offer an excellent introduction and overview to exterior routing practice and theory on the Internet. In addition to documenting the mechanics of BGP, readers will find practical instructions on various related topics, including Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), issues related to routing and address allocation, autonomous systems (ASes), and routing protocol analysis. Features: Theory and practice of Internet exterior routing Protocol specifications for BGP BGP applicability and experiences Classless Inter-Domain Routing specifications and practices Autonomous System (AS) specifications and practices And much more. If you buy only one reference on BGP and Internet routing, this is the one to choose. Written by members of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), this compilation is the most complete and authoritative reference on BGP available.Loshin, Pete is the author of 'Big Book of Boder Gateway Protocol (Bcp) Rfcs' with ISBN 9780124558465 and ISBN 0124558461.
