DESCRIPTION:
He is the author of the OSPF and MOSPF protocol specifications and currently chairs the OSPF and MOSPF Working Groups in the Internet Engineering Task Force. John T. 0201634724AB04062001 . Mr. Mr. Moy is a Senior Consulting Engineer at Ascend Communications. Moy has been involved in the design
After a brief description of how routing fits together with the rest of the Internet's protocols, Chapter 1 describes in depth how a router forwards packets. Routing protocols are sophisticated distributed algorithms that must also be extremely robust to keep a large, decentralized network like the Internet running smoothly. Written in C++, the OSPF implementation is intended to be portable to a wide range of environments. Chapter 12 describes the tools used to monitor and debug routing in a TCP/IP network. The book contains a complete implementation of OSPF on CD. This is done for two reasons. Special-purpose computers called routers connect the Internet together. With connections in more than 100 countries, tens of millions of people use the Internet for business, education, and recreation. Although we describe how the various protocols were intended to work, we also describe how well the design has translated into
Exercises are provided.. This work examines the topic of routing, and provides detailed coverage of the routing protocol, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) which was developed by the author. Part One defines Internet routing in general and discusses a variety of protocols in addition to OSPF. Part Two then delves into the details of the OSPF protocol, explaining why it was developed and how it improves network efficiency
"Good Introduction to Intradomain routing" according to S. Cesare. If you are a technical guy with interest in understandingwhat happens behind the scene of your IP network this is a good book. The only drawback is that in some point you have the feeling things are non fully explained (details left to the reader); it's possible Jhon Moy had some interest in selling the second detailed book on OSPF (The complete implementation ").Nice to compare what Moy says about OSPF vs. IS-IS with Perlman idea.. Displays why OSPF is a pure link state protocol Just like programmers refer to C++ as the language of choice. I refer to OSPF as the routing protocol of choice. After reading this book I have a new perspective on link state protocols and how they operate. I see how EIGRP, NLSP, and ISIS have incorporated the principles of OSPF into their protocols. Similar to how Java borrowed ideas from C++ and Smalltalk. If you have a good understanding of IP, master OSPF to quote Mr. Spock you will "Live Long and Prosperous"!. Ospf Anatomy of An Internet Routing Protocol A clear and concise description of the protocol for the novice and experienced veteran. Good study and reference to keep while implementing the protocol for any developer.
