Microsoft Windows 2000 TCP/IP Protocols and Services

Find the in-depth technical information you need to support TCP/IP on the Windows 2000 platform with the Microsoft Windows 2000 Tcp/Ip Protocols And Services Technical Reference. It steps you through TCP/IP protocols layer by layer in the OSI model, while offering details to help you handle daily connectivity tasks. Weaving concepts with practical examples, it presents a detailed picture of TCP/IP protocols and services for Windows 2000 networks and discusses how to use these protocols and services to maximize LAN/WAN performance. It includes utilities to help you monitor your network and provides expert instruction so you understand:

• The Network Access Layer: How the network architectures that Windows 2000 supports carry data in a TCP/IP network
• Internet Layer Protocols: How IP provides a reliable end-to-end delivery system for individual datagrams, both for one-to-one and for one-to-many communication
• Transport Layer Protocols: How TCP and UDP use IP to let applications running on Windows 2000–based PCs communicate with other applications and PCs, plus how TCP manages the reliable flow of data between sender and receiver
• Application Layer Protocols and Services: How Windows 2000 implements key RFC-compliant application protocols
