TCP/IP Primer Plus

---

Heather Osterloh, "TCP/IP Primer Plus"
Sams | 2001 | ISBN: 0672322080 | 528 pages | PDF | 5,8 MB

Amazon.com Review
There's no shortage of books about the protocols that enable the Internet to work, and TCP/IP Primer Plus faces a tall order as it attempts to distinguish itself from its competitors. It succeeds in doing so thanks to the degree of detail with which it treats the TCP/IP standards. Every last bit--that's bit as in binary digit--in all the TCP/IP protocols is documented, always in tables and often in screen shots from the Sniffer network analysis program as well. Even complicated material, like the ins and outs of dynamic routing protocols, is explained thoroughly and documented well.

This is not a handholding book, but neither does it address remarkably advanced aspects of TCP/IP. It's a reference book, and a good one. Not only does Heather Osterloh explain how TCP/IP works in her own words, she backs everything up with references to the appropriate standards documents so readers know where to look for more detail and alternative explanations. This book is sufficiently thorough, and its examples are of such high quality--not to mention that the chapters conclude with review questions--that it's more than adequate as a study aid to be used in advance of any general TCP/IP examination. Consider this book if you're prepping for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam (640-507) or the Microsoft TCP/IP exam (70-059). --David Wall

Topics covered: The complete suite of protocols--and there are a lot of them--covered under the designation "TCP/IP." In addition to the two eponymous protocols, this book covers routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP, and BGP), address discover protocols (ARP, RARP, and DHCP), and higher-level protocols (HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and others). Even name resolution is treated well.

AdvancED ActionScript 3.0 Animation

AdvancED ActionScript 3.0 Animation

Product Description

This book is a compilation of advanced ActionScript 3.0 animation techniques for any user creating games, user interaction, or motion control with ActionScript. It’s a compilation of topics that follow on from the author’s earlier book, Foundation ActionScript 3.0 Animation: Making Things Move, and things that became possible in the most recent version of Flash: Flash Player 10. This book covers a diverse selection of topics that don’t necessarily lead one into the other. You don’t need to start with Chapter 1 and read it cover to cover. Just start with any chapter that looks interesting and jump around as you see fit. In this book, you’ll find chapters on advanced collision detection, artificial intelligence and steering behaviors, isometric projection, using the camera and microphone for input, 3D, and much, much more.

The book is also more experimental in nature. The techniques shown here might not be the best way to do things, but they should work well and get you started in your own efforts to achieve a perfect implementation. In fact, many of the chapters can be seen as introductions to very complex topics that could fill a whole book by themselves. Many of these subjects have been extensively covered elsewhere, but not necessarily targeted for Flash or ActionScript 3.0. So it took a fair amount of work to pull the data together and get it all working and explain it all clearly in ActionScript. This book will inspire you to find out about subjects that you might not have considered before, acting as a springboard into your own research into the possibilities of ActionScript 3.0.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Leverage Flash 10 3D, the new drawing API commands, and Pixel Bender
• Create isometric worlds for games
• Construct powerful artificial intelligence routines including pathfinding, steering, and flocking behaviors
• Use numerical integration for real world physics effects
• Build advanced collision detection routines for more accurate simulations

Summary of Contents

1. Advanced Collision Detection
2. Steering Behaviors
3. Isometric Projection
4. Pathfinding
5. Alternate Input: The Camera and Microphone
6. Advanced Physics: Numerical Integration
7. 3D in Flash 10
8. Flash 10 Drawing API
9. Pixel Bender
10. Tween Engines

SAP Security Configuration and Deployment: The IT Administrator’s Guide to Best Practices

SAP Security Configuration and Deployment: The IT Administrator's Guide to Best Practices

Product Description
Throughout the world, high-profile large organizations (aerospace and defense, automotive, banking, chemicals, financial service providers, healthcare, high tech, insurance, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, retail, telecommunications, and utilities) and governments are using SAP software to process their most mission-critical, highly sensitive data. With more than 100,000 installations, SAP is the world’s largest enterprise software company and the world’s third largest independent software supplier overall.

Despite this widespread use, there have been very few books written on SAP implementation and security, despite a great deal of interest. (There are 220,000 members in an on-line SAP ‘community’ seeking information, ideas and tools on the IT Toolbox Website alone.) Managing SAP user authentication and authorizations is becoming more complex than ever, as there are more and more SAP products involved that have very different access issues. It’s a complex area that requires focused expertise.

This book is designed for these network and systems administrator who deal with the complexity of having to make judgmental decisions regarding enormously complicated and technical data in the SAP landscape, as well as pay attention to new compliance rules and security regulations.

Most SAP users experience significant challenges when trying to manage and mitigate the risks in existing or new security solutions and usually end up facing repetitive, expensive re-work and perpetuated compliance challenges. This book is designed to help them properly and efficiently manage these challenges on an ongoing basis. It aims to remove the ‘Black Box’ mystique that surrounds SAP security.

* The most comprehensive coverage of the essentials of SAP security currently available: risk and control management, identity and access management, data protection and privacy, corporate governance, legal and regulatory compliance.

* This book contains information about SAP security that is not available anywhere else to help the reader avoid the “gotchas” that may leave them vulnerable during times of upgrade or other system changes

*Companion Web site provides custom SAP scripts, which readers can download to install, configure and troubleshoot SAP.

Professional Ajax, 2nd Edition

Professional Ajax, 2nd Edition

Product Description
Professional Ajax 2nd Edition provides a developer-level tutorial of Ajax techniques, patterns, and use cases. The book begins by exploring the roots of Ajax, covering how the evolution of the web and new technologies directly led to the development of Ajax techniques. A detailed discussion of how frames, JavaScript, cookies, XML, and XMLHttp requests (XHR) related to Ajax is included. After this introduction, the book moves on to cover the implementation of specific Ajax techniques. Request brokers such as hidden frames, dynamic iframes, and XHR are compared and contrasted, explaining when one method should be used over another. To make this discussion clearer, a brief overview of HTTP requests and responses is included.

Once a basic understanding of the various request types is discussed, the book moves on to provide in-depth examples of how and when to use Ajax in a web site or web application. Different data transmission formats, including plain text, HTML, XML, and JSON are discussed for their advantages and disadvantages. Also included is a discussion on web services and how they may be used to perform Ajax techniques. Next, more complex topics are covered. A chapter introducing a request management framework explores how to manage all of the requests inside of an Ajax application. Ajax debugging techniques are also discussed.

The last part of the book walks through the creation of two full-fledged Ajax web applications. The first, FooReader.NET, is an Ajax-powered RSS reader. The second, called AjaxMail, is an Ajax-enabled email system. Both of these applications incorporate many of the techniques discussed throughout the book.

Professional Ajax 2nd edition is written for Web application developers looking to enhance the usability of their web sites and web applications and intermediate JavaScript developers looking to further understand the language. Readers should have familiarity with XML, XSLT, Web Services, PHP or C#, HTML, CSS. This book is not aimed at beginners without a basic understanding of the aforementioned technologies. Also, a good understanding of JavaScript is vitally important to understanding this book. Those readers without such knowledge should instead refer to books such as Beginning JavaScript, Second Edition (Wrox, 2004, ISBN: 978-0-7645-5587-9) and Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox, 2005, ISBN: 978-0-7645-7908-0).

Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks

Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks

Product Description
Transport networks evolved from DCS (Digital Cross-connect Systems)-based mesh architectures, to SONET/SDH (Synchronous Optical Networking/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) ring architectures in the 1990’s. In the past few years, technological advancements in optical transport switches have allowed service providers to support the same fast recovery in mesh networks previously available in ring networks while achieving better capacity efficiency and resulting in lower capital cost.

Optical transport networks today not only provide trunking capacity to higher-layer networks, such as inter-router connectivity in an IP-centric infrastructure, but also support efficient routing and fast failure recovery of high-bandwidth services. This is possible due to the emergence of optical network elements that have the intelligence required to efficiently control the network. Optical mesh networks will enable a variety of dynamic services such as bandwidth-on-demand, Just-In-Time bandwidth, bandwidth scheduling, bandwidth brokering, and optical virtual private networks that open up new opportunities for service providers and their customers alike.

Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks combines both theoretical as well as practical aspects of routing and dimensioning for mesh optical networks. All authors have worked as technical leaders for the equipment vendor Tellium who implemented such capabilities in its product, and whose product was deployed in service provider networks.

Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks

• Presents an in-depth treatment of a specific class of optical networks, i.e. path-oriented mesh optical networks.
• Focuses on routing and recovery, dimensioning, performance analysis and availability in mesh optical networks.
• Explains and analyses routing specifically associated with Dedicated Backup Path Protection (DBPP) and Shared Backup Path Protection (SBPP) recovery architectures.

As most of the core backbone networks evolve to mesh topologies utilizing intelligent network elements for provisioning and recovery of services, Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks will be an invaluable tool for both researchers and engineers in the industry who are responsible for designing, developing, deploying and maintaining mesh optical networks. It will also be a useful reference book for graduate students and university professors who are interested in optical networks or telecommunications networking.

Enterprise Architecture at Work: Modelling, Communication and Analysis

Enterprise Architecture at Work: Modelling, Communication and Analysis

Product Description

An enterprise architecture tries to describe and control an organisation’s structure, processes, applications, systems and techniques in an integrated way. The unambiguous specification and description of components and their relationships in such an architecture requires a coherent architecture modelling language.

Lankhorst and his co-authors present such an enterprise modelling language that captures the complexity of architectural domains and their relations and allows the construction of integrated enterprise architecture models. They provide architects with concrete instruments that improve their architectural practice. As this is not enough, they additionally present techniques and heuristics for communicating with all relevant stakeholders about these architectures. Since an architecture model is useful not only for providing insight into the current or future situation but can also be used to evaluate the transition from ‘as-is’ to ‘to-be’, the authors also describe analysis methods for assessing both the qualitative impact of changes to an architecture and the quantitative aspects of architectures, such as performance and cost issues.

The modelling language and the other techniques presented have been proven in practice in many real-life case studies. So this book is an ideal companion for enterprise IT or business architects in industry as well as for computer or management science students studying the field of enterprise architecture.
About the Author
Marc Lankhorst has worked with the Telematica Instituut in Enschede, The Netherlands as a researcher on software and enterprise architecture since 1996. He is reponsible for the group of software engineers of the institute and he has managed the ArchiMate project, a co-operation between several partners from industry and academia, concerned with modelling, visualisation and analysis of enterprise architectures. Additionally he teaches courses on architecture at the University of Twente and at Delft University of Technology.

Rationale-Based Software Engineering

Rationale-Based Software Engineering

Product Description

Many decisions are required throughout the software development process. These decisions, and to some extent the decision-making process itself, can best be documented as the rationale for the system, which will reveal not only what was done during development but the reasons behind the choices made and alternatives considered and rejected. This information becomes increasingly critical as software development becomes more distributed and encompasses the corporate knowledge both used and refined during the development process. The capture of rationale helps to ensure that decisions are well thought out and justified and the use of rationale can help avoid the mistakes of the past during both the development of the current system and when software products (architecture and design, as well as code) are reused in future systems.

Burge, Carroll, McCall, and Mistrík describe in detail the capture and use of design rationale in software engineering to improve the quality of software. Their book is the first comprehensive and unified treatment of rationale usage in software engineering. It provides a consistent conceptual framework and a unified terminology for comparing, contrasting and combining the myriad approaches to rationale in software engineering.
