Practical TCP/IP and Ethernet Networking for Industry (Practical Professional Books)

* A practical hands-on book that covers troubleshooting and maintenance of TCP/IP networks * Provides a solid understanding of the application of TCP/IP from an engineering perspective * Complete coverage from networking fundamentals to Internet-enabled control systems TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet. TCP/IP uses several protocols, the two main ones being TCP and IP. TCP/IP is built into the UNIX operating system and is used by the Internet, making it the de facto standard for transmitting data over networks. The TCP/IP suite of protocols has become a dominant technology due to its widespread use and reliability, while Ethernet is fast becoming a de facto industrial networking standard. There is a strong need for a book covering TCP/IP, Ethernet and related topics from the perspective of an engineer rather than that of an IT professional. Practical TCP/IP and Ethernet Networking for Industry has been structured to cover the main areas of TCP/IP and Ethernet in detail, while going through the practical implementation of TCP/IP in office and industrial applications as well as the practical use of the Internet and Intranets.Edwin Wright MIPENZ BSc (Hons) BSc (Elec Eng) is the author of 'Practical TCP/IP and Ethernet Networking for Industry (Practical Professional Books)', published 2003 under ISBN 9780750658065 and ISBN 0750658061.
