Readers interested in achieving mastery of the Internet Protocol (IP) addressing system and its related protocols should consult the superior information provided in IP Fundamentals.Author Thomas A. Maufer begins with a discussion of the IP numbering system, including excellent coverage of subnetting, supernetting, and the differences between IPv4 and IPv6. The author reveals the intricacies of variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) and classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) before addressing how IP operates in various infrastructures, including Ethernet, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Token Ring, and Frame Relay. In his discussion of IP routing, the author shows how the two versions of Routing Information Protocol (RIPv1 and RIPv2) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) work, both independently and in heterogeneous routing environments.
Maufer strikes a commendable balance between thoroughness and practicality. He makes sure--through liberal use of examples--that you understand everything necessary to complete your job. But he also goes to extraordinary lengths to bolster your grasp of the IP suite; his chapters conclude with fact-rich endnotes, plus references to journal articles and standards documents. In this way, IP Fundamentals helps you surpass mere technical competence to become an IP addressing and routing expert. --David Wall

This will make it easier to understand the IP World........2001-06-10
From the beginning of the book you get topics like IP and IP routing foundations, addressing, subnetting, VLSM, detailed breakdown of the first three layers of the OSI model, Ethernet technologies, token ring and FDDI, PPP and Frame Relay.
The author breaks down routing with RIP and OSPF very well and makes the concepts comprehensible for even the beginner level technician. Also he handles ICMP, 802.1q & p as well as first-rate coverage of DHCP.
The book seems very complete and the author makes sure to include the RFCs that correspond to the different section for the reference purposes. Overall this is one of the best books for IP subject matter.
Very good explanation of concepts. however poor editing.......2001-03-20
If the reader is ready to put in the extra effort and patience to understand these troubled portions of the book, then what he gets is surely worth all the trouble.
The book is one of the best book on IP that I have ever read. It explains in very great details and with amazing simplicity the most cryptic details about CIDR, VLSM and other highly complex topics.
The Chapters are arranged very logically and it almost feels like a continous text. I have decided to give the book 4 stars although it deserves more than 5 stars. I would really advise the publishers to spend some more time on a book to ensure its correctness, before the send the book out to the press.
One last think which I feel is that this book does assumes certain previous knowledge of concepts like ARP and other basic concepts of IP, hence this book should be much more fun and usefull after a reading a primary book on TCP/IP like Douglas Comer or W.R. Stevens.

IP Addressing Fundamentals
Mark Sportack Manufacturer: Cisco Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1587050676 |
Book Description
The reader-friendly explanation of how the IP address space works and how it is used
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the native protocol suite of the Internet and has become predominant in virtually all networks and internetworks. Managing an IP address space requires a solid command of binary mathematics, particularly as it is applied within the IP addressing architecture. The mathematics of the IP address space, however, are not intuitive and can be very difficult to grasp. Consequently, learning about IP addressing can be a lot like trying to piece together a jigsaw puzzle-but without knowing what the puzzle is supposed to look like.
IP Addressing Fundamentals explains simply and clearly how the IP address space works and how it is used. This is a reader-friendly book that details the fundamentals of the IP address space from the ground up. IP Addressing Fundamentals unravels the mysteries of subnetting, supernetting, and CIDR; thoroughly explains the binary mathematics of IPv4's addressing space; and demonstrates how an IP address becomes an active component in both networks and internetworks. Author Mark Sportack prepares you for real-world success by walking you through some of the issues and traps that lie in wait for anyone who needs to plan or manage the use of an IP address space. Most importantly, this book doesn't presume you already know what the entire IP addressing puzzle looks like.
IP Addressing Fundamentals imparts a profound command of IP addressing through a clear and concise writing style. Basics are reinforced with detailed information and numerous examples of how the concepts work. This book builds upon concepts presented in earlier chapters and concludes with fairly advanced topics that will become increasingly useful to midlevel network engineers.
After reading IP Addressing Fundamentals, you'll finally understand IP addressing and appreciate both its mechanics and relevance, and you'll know how to efficiently apply your new knowledge.

IP Addressing Fundamentals by Mark A. Sportack.......2003-12-02
Just recently my company reorganized our network group. My job changed drastically.
I am now responsible for supporting our Cisco wired and wireless network. Wanting to get up to speed quickly I ask one of my coworkers for advice. He advised me to learn IP addressing. He said if I got a firm foundation in IP this would give me a better understanding of Cisco switching and routing. Since we have a Cisco network I looked to Cisco Press to find a book on IP addressing. I found that they had a book by that exact name, IP Addressing Fundamentals. The book was written Mark A. Sportack. Mr. Sportack not only writes books about networking but networking is his life. He is involved in networking literally day and night. He is a Director of Network Engineering by day and a professor at Syracuse University by night.
I received my book and began to read. If you are looking for a book that tells you how to configure a pc or server you have chosen the wrong book. If you need to know IP addressing inside and out this is the book for you. Mr. Sportack's style of writing made the book very easy to read. The book is divided into five parts with fifteen chapters.
This book helps you not only to understand how IP addressing works now, but how it originally worked and how it will work in the future. The author points out that when IP was in its infancy the rules and regulations worked fine but with the explosion of the internet problems soon cropped up. The author explains in each chapter what these problems were and how they were overcome to keep the internet viable. You may ask why all of this history of IP addressing and the internet are necessary. The author explains it best in Chapter Five, The Date of Doom, when he makes this statement. "The more you know about these and other constraints the better you will be able to deal with them on your job." Now this is what I look for in a book, someone who understands that I am not reading this book because I don't have anything to do, I am reading this book to help me on my job.
The author covers all phases of IP addressing such as: binary mathematics, classes of addresses, fixed and variable length subnet masks, classless interdomain routing, NAT, and private addresses. Other topics cover networking with IP, DNS, and the future of IP addressing with IPv6. There are numerous examples and illustrations throughout the book that make each concept easy to understand. On a scale of one to five, I give this book a five. This book has helped me tremendously on my job. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand IP addressing. Because the book was clear and easy to understand, I would be eager to read other books by this author.
If you need to learn IP addressing this may be the book........2002-11-14
The book starts with basic binary conversion which is essentials to understand when working with IP addressing. You then work with classfull addressing and fixed subnet masks. The author also explains the drawbacks to this type of addressing, which is usually skipped over in most texts.
The discussion on VLSM is both in the positives of use as well as the negatives. Form the there the author gives and excellent breakdown of CIDR and supernetting and NAT. What I think could be added to the next edition is more practice examples. Overall this would make a nice addition to the CCNA Preparation library.

Customer Reviews:
Interesting balance of the use of charting.......2003-10-25
Blair advised a fair skeptism of using charting tools independently of other investment tools.
A broad overview of the common tools is provided, and this book is recommended for anyone who's getting into charting for the first time. He provided a concise description of each and its use, and also recommended a list of readings for those who would like to get into more details. Personally, this was a quick jump-start for me.
This book is easy reading.

Statistical Mechanics: A Survival Guide
A. M. Glazer , and J. S. Wark Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0198508166 |
Book Description
Statistical mechanics is the science of predicting the observable properties of a multiple bodied system by studying the statistics of the behaviour of its individual constituents, whether they are atoms, molecules, photons, etc. It provides the link between macroscopic and microscopic states, and as such has the potential to be one of the most satisfying parts of an undergraduate science course - linking in an elegant manner the quantum world with everyday observations of systems containing large numbers of particles. This excellent text is designed to introduce the fundamentals of the subject of statistical mechanics at a level suitable for students who meet the subject for the first time. The treatment given here is designed to give the student a feeling for the topic of statistical mechanics without being held back by the need to understand complex mathematics. The text is concise and concentrates on the understanding of fundamental aspects. Numerous questions with worked solutions are given throughout.Customer Reviews:
