[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] tcp-ip, documentation

morley@hrdwre.Cambridge.NCR.COM (Debbie Morley) (12/02/88)

Can anyone recommend to me a good reference book that covers the tcp-ip 
protocol?  I am interested in using tcp-ip to connect the various platforms
in our CAE environment, i.e., VAXes, HP 9000s, Apollo (mentors), and NCR
Towers (Unix-based, 68020).  Any information to help me get started would be
appreciated!

Title: Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols and Architecture
Author: Douglas Comer
Pulisher: Prentice, Hall,  Engelwood Cliffs, NJ. 1988

I am about halfway through this book.  It doesn't go into details of
implementing lans, ethernets, etc.  It does go into the TCP/IP
protocol suite in reasonable detail.  There are many diagrams and it
is clearly written.  I recommend it highly.

There is also a book out on configuring ethernets.  I don't recall the
publisher but the author is Bill Hancock.  I have not read the book so
I can not vouch for its quality but Bill Hancock lectures regularly at
U.S. Decus symposia and he is both informative and entertaining.

Title: Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture
Author: Douglas Comer
Publisher: Prentice-Hall, Engelwood Cliffs, NJ. 1988

I am about halfway through this book.  It does not cover particulars
of LANS or ethernet.  It does cover the tcp/ip protocol suite and some
surrounding network issues relatively well.  The book contains many
diagrams and is clearly written.  I recommend it highly.

There is another book which covers ethernet configuration.  I do not
recall the title or publisher but the author is Bill Hancock.  I have
not read the book so I cannot vouch for its qualitiy but Bill Hancock
lectures regularly at U.S. DECUS Symposia.  He is both informative and
entertaining.
