| By: Anonymous ISBN: 1417949570 Publisher: Kessinger Publishing, LLC Release Date: 20 September, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 70886 | Excellent book. Not a chance in hell it is a forgery. Everything that this book describes happened in Russia and is happening in the U.S., albeit at a slower pace. Don't bore me with, "the Jews did it!" Your just missing the point, as most people do. . . but its OK! The origin of this book has been debated heavily which in turn has discredited this book. But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The origins have been discredited NOT the strategies. <br /> <br />They should re-title this book, "How to Get Ahead in this Corrupt World." If you read this book, you will be shocked how apt it is at describing what you see around you, hear about your "elected" officials, read about in the newspapers, see on television and movies, learn about in school, etc. And hey, if your an amoral psychopath, you might actually want to glean a few tips from these pages. These strategies really are brilliant and immediately applicable, so go for it . . . make that money - get that promotion - step on us little people. <br /> <br />Also, if you'd like to round out your novice training on what the hell is actually happening around you (in North America and Great Britain) I would also suggest reading: <br /> <br />1. "The Communist Manifesto" - by Karl Marx. Another eye-opener - and you thought we defeated communism. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Russia became more capitalistic and we became more communistic so we're both moving toward . . . . that's right . . socialism. It's scary how much of this manifesto America has adopted. <br /> <br />2. "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45" - Milton Mayer. They thought they were free . . . we think that we are free. Wow, I didn't realize that we had so much in common with the Nazi's. You know . . . the enemy within, incessant compulsion for genocide, police state, etc. No big deal. . . let's go get those Islamo-fascists . . . yeehaw!!!! (Isn't fascism, in the German sense, a combination of corporatism, police state, and preemptive war . . . just a thought!) An intriguing look at the propaganda so often used when Jews and their ethnicity are misunderstood. Well worth reading. | |

| By: Joseph Davies, Thomas Lee ISBN: 0735612919 Publisher: Microsoft Press Release Date: 26 February, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 457446 | This is a 5 star book because it takes you down to the lowest level of detail without losing you. This is primarily due to the book's excellent organization where each chapter builds on the previous ones. Although it calls itself a reference, it's an excellent sequential read to learn what TCP/IP is about under the covers on Windows Server 2003. I'd like to say that this is a good book for the general reader who wants a broad overview of networking protocols. <p>But nobody buys a book like this for browsing and unfortunately it falls short when it comes to the nitty gritty details that anone working with these protocols needs.<br>What is the point of providing extra detail if these details prove to be misleading or in some cases even contradictory?<p>I know this looks like a frothing rant so I guess I need an example: <br>page 389 in table 16.1 the DHCP Broadcast bit in the flags entry must be set if the client does not have an IP address.<br> Then for the rest of the chapter all examples show the bit unset.<br>I know its pedantic but these books are bought for detail like this. <p>So in conclusion it may look good on the shelf but cannot be trusted for everyday use. As an Microsoft MVP, Microsoft presented this book to me and I've read it carefully, I found it's a great book of TCP/IP protocols in Windows Server 2003. If you want to be a professional of Windows Server 2003 TCP/IP protocols and services, buy and read this book, it's great really. | |

| By: Qing Li, Tatuya Jinmei, Keiichi Shima ISBN: 0124477518 Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann Release Date: 12 October, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 480826 | If you want to learn the basics of IPv6 and its peripheral routing and transition protocols, there are a number of good books on the market. But what if you're a software coder needing to work with IPv6, or want to understand its implementation in intimate detail?
<br />
<br />For this, there is only one choice: The two-volume set by Qing Li, Tatuya Jinmei, and Keiichi Shima. These are the IPv6 equivalent of Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated and Comer's Internetworking with TCP/IP, books that should be on every networking professional's bookshelf. Like the multi-volume Stevens and Comer books, these books go deep into the functional structures of an IPv6 implementation--in this case the KAME implementation for BSD.
<br />
<br />The first volume, IPv6 Core Protocols Implementation, starts off with an overview of the KAME IPv6 distribution for BSD and how to build a KAME-enabled kernel; in little more than a dozen pages the book takes you directly into the code structure. From there the remainder of the book leads you through the core protocols from basic address architecture to ICMPv6 and Neighbor Discovery Protocol to the intricacies of IPv6 at the transport layer and socket API extensions.
<br />
<br />The second volume, IPv6 Advanced Protocols Implementation, covers IPv6 routing protocols (through route6d), IPv6 multicast, DNS, and DHCPv6. The last two chapters of the book delve into Mobile IPv6 and the basics of IPv6 security.
<br />
<br />While these books are a deep-dive into the code, they don't assume you know IPv6; each chapter covers the basics of its topic before getting into the coding. So whether you are a coder needing to learn IPv6, a network architect wanting to know the IPv6 protocols more intimately, or just want a solid reference on your bookshelf for those times when the RFCs and general configuration guides just aren't enough to troubleshoot an IPv6 problem, I highly recommend these books. There are no others to compare. IPv6 Core Protocols Implementation addresses with technical depth and clarity an IPv6 implementation on University California Berkeley Source Code Distribution (BSD), from the KAME project that was based in Japan, which is both a commercial and academic success in the world wide networking implementation market. The book begins with an overview of the KAME project and source code distribution, and then provides a concise, but thorough overview of the BSD network implementation. Then the book provides the architecture and an implementation code base component for IPv6 added to the current BSD TCP/IP Internet Protocol layer code base, the implications of the changes to the Transport Layer, and then provides a review of the BSD Socket Application Interface changes for IPv6. The authors did a very good job of representing the source code implementation and it was easy to read and comprehend, with discussion for each programmatic presentation of the code base functions and data structures. This book will be valuable to both networking architects and programmers that have to absorb and understand the implementation of IPv6 within the TCP/IP network implementation and reference model. The book was a pleasure to read and reminded me of the TCP/IP technical books by the late Dr. Richard Stevens, and afforded me the same technical depth. CTO IPv6 Forum www.ipv6forum.com Jim Bound. This book is written in the same style as Stevens' TCP/IP Illustrated Volume <br />II and serves as The replacement of Stevens' books for IPv6. This book blends <br />in-depth discussion of the IPv6 protocols and standards with line-by-line <br />code annotation and design digest of the KAME implementation. As the WIDE <br />project board member and the original core KAME developer, I approve the <br />technical accuracy of this book and certify the content of this book <br />represents the KAME implementation well. I fully endorse this book and <br />personally recommend it to every programmer as the IPv6 network programming <br />book. | |

| By: Eric A. Hall ISBN: 1565925726 Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Release Date: 15 March, 2000 Bioscience book rank: 398220 | If you need to strengthen your knowledge of network-layer and transport-layer protocols (IP, ICMP, TCP and UDP), go no further than this book. Recommended. This is a critical reference. The better you know a subject matter, the better you can explain it to others... <br /> <br />Well, this is only 50% of what's required: the other 50% is being good at explaining. <br /> <br />And that's the problem with this book: everything is terribly (badly) explained! <br /> <br />I'm in no position to discuss the author's prowess when it comes to mastering Networking, but filling a book with "reference manual" type of data (something you can find in many others books -and websites, for that matter!) doesn't prove it, either. At all. <br /> <br />As other reviews exposed, repetitions, copy-paste style, are common in this book; also common is the definition that its writing style brings to mind: gibberish. <br /> <br />Let's say it out loud: writing a book is no mean feat, and every book on any matter _has_ its share of shortcomings, be it important or just anecdotical. But, honestly, I haven't found much to salvage from this reading. <br /> <br />Reviewer and author Richard Bejtlich mentions this book in his review of "The TCP/IP Guide: A Comprehensive, Illustrated Internet Protocols Reference" by Charles Kozierok, as belonging to an intermediate-level class of recommended books; and he mentions, too, Kevin Burns' "TCP/IP Analysis and Troubleshooting Toolkit" as belonging to the expert-level class. <br /> <br />Well, I've found Kevin Burns' book faaaaaaaar more instructive, readable, etc, than this other; they're as opposite as night and day (well, let's be a bit less harsh: as dusk and dawn) (an enlightening dawn and an obscure dusk, that is). <br /> <br /> Buy that one, forget this one. From beginning to end I found this to be the most substantive book on the topic(s). The book doesn't "hold your hand" but it takes you from the essentials right through more advanced concepts. Well done. | |

| By: W. Richard Stevens ISBN: 0201634953 Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Release Date: 29 January, 1996 Bioscience book rank: 260719 | After having read volumes I & II, I felt compelled to read volume III in spite of other customer reviews here. Having just finished this one, I'm inclined to agree with the other reviewers - interesting, but not as earth-shattering as the first two. The first half of the book covers, in volume-II style detail, an implementation of T/TCP for BSD; although this is interesting, it's not very practical, since T/TCP never caught on in the real world. The next part of the book covers HTTP & NNTP, but doesn't go into much detail; if you know what HTTP & NTTP are, you probably already know all the material covered in this book. Finally, the book ends by examining the BSD implementation of the Unix domain sockets. This last bit was the most relevant part of the book, but don't even think about trying to read this if you haven't completed volume II (and have it handy - the text refers back to specific pages and diagrams from Volume II). If you've read the other two books (Volume II in particular), you'll want to read this one to round out the experience, but don't expect to be blown away like you were with the others. If you are planning on writing any software for the web, this is one of the books you need. This book covers T/TCP, HTTP, NNTP, and more including UD Protocols and some good info in the appendix.<p>W. Richard Stevens has never let me down with any of his books, and this one is no diffrent. Its too bad hes not around to write books any more, alot of people will be missing out on great books from a great author.<p>This is a must have!! This book covers a need distinct from the first two volumes - the first two covered the core protocols' internals, while this one covers the application level protocols - a subject hardly covered by any other book.<p>I've found this book very useful for understanding T/TCP, a subject my teacher did not explain well and was obscure for me.<p>The NNTP & HTTP cover was useful, especially as I was doing a lab on HTTP, but I must admit that as far as HTTP goes the RFCs were sufficient. | |

| By: David L. Mills ISBN: 0849358051 Publisher: CRC Release Date: 24 March, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 407508 | It is interesting that the so called 'Atomic' clocks you can buy in supermarkets or WalMart/Target are more accurate than anything you could have gotten only a few years ago and for a very little money. But when it comes to computers, they tend to use very inexpensive clocks and on a network there is normally no effort made to synchronize the individual machines.
<br />
<br />'This book,' to quote the opening sentence. 'is all about wrangling a herd of network computers so that all display the correct time.' It is specifically is about the Network Time Protocol (NTP), a twenty year old standard that is now well defined, robust, and heavily used. Heavily used means some 25 million clients getting the time from the National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST). A properly set up network can have all participating computers synchronized to less than a millisecond with a time check every fifteen minutes or so.
<br />
<br />This book is the Bible of the subject. It is suitable for a network administrator, or if you want to go deeper into the subject it contains enough information to take you just as far as you want to go.
<br />
<br />You might miss it if you don't read it carefully, but Dr. Mills is the original developer of NTP. He can take you down into the mathematics of the algorithms in one chapter, and write casually like he does in the opening sentence. This is the Bible of NTP. Having administered NTP for several years I am pleased to see this work has been completed and published. It is a valuable reference. Setting up NTP is a very simple task but to understand the nuts of bolts of NTP requires patients and devotion to the subject matter and this text greatly aids in that process. The book is also very lightweight which is nice because it doesn't weigh down my backpack and I can take it wherever I go. Long story short if you administer NTP this book is must. For most people, having their clocks accurate to within a few millionths of a second is excessive. Yet there are plenty of reasons to ensure that clocks on networks and production systems are that accurate. In fact, the need for synchronized time is a practical business and technology decision that is an integral part of an effective network and security architecture. The reality is that an organizations network and security infrastructure is highly dependent on accurate, synchronized time. <br /> <br />From a practical perspective, nearly every activity requires synchronized time to operate at peak levels, from plane departures and sporting events, to industrial processes, IP telephony, GPS and much more. Within information technology, technologies from directory services, collaboration, to authentication, SIM and VoIP all require accurate and synchronized time to work effectively. <br /> <br />Computer Network Time Synchronization: The Network Time Protocol is a valuable book for those that are serious about network time synchronization. David Mills, the author of the book, is one of the pillars of the network time synchronization community, and an original developer of the IETF-based network time protocol (NTP). The book is the summation of his decades of experience and a detailed look at how to use NTP to achieve highly accurate time on your network. <br /> <br />While network time synchronization is indeed crucial to corporate networks, this is only the second book on the topic. Last year saw Expert Network Time Protocol: An Experience in Time with NTP, which is a most capable title. But this book is clearly the indisputable reference on the subject, given its extraordinary depth and breadth. While Expert Network Time Protocol gets into the metaphysics of time, Mills's book takes a much more rationalist and pragmatic approach, which explains the myriad mathematical equations. <br /> <br />Mills is an electrical engineer by training and a significant part of the books 15 chapters involve advanced mathematics. But even for those who can't manage such equations, there is enough relevant material to make the book most rewarding. <br /> <br />Chapters 1 and 2 provide an excellent overview of the basics of network timekeeping and an overview of how NTP works. We often take for granted that network computers have the capabilities to set their internal clock. But while the capabilities are there, the reality is that these clocks are rarely accurate and subjected to many externalities that affect their ability to provide accurate time. The book shows how highly accurate time is easily achievable; often without the need for additional hardware. The goal of book is to show the reader how they can use NTP to synchronize the time on their network hosts to within a few milliseconds. <br /> <br />Chapters 3 - 11 detail the internals of NTP and time synchronization. Topics such as clock discipline algorithms, clock drivers and more are detailed. For many readers, the information may be overkill, but remember that this is not a For Dummies book. <br /> <br />Chapters 13 - 15 ease up on the abstract mathematics and are much more readable to newbie to the world of time synchronization. Chapter 13 is quite readable and details the metrology and chronometry of how NTP measures time as opposed to other time scales. <br /> <br />One of the key differences is the notion of absolute vs. relative time. Relative or astronomic time is based on the earth's rotation. Since the earth's rotation is not absolute, leap seconds are added to keep UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) synchronized with the astronomical timescale. <br /> <br />So what exactly is this legendary thing called the second? In 1967, the 13th General Conference on Weights and Measures defined the International System unit of time, the second, in terms of atomic time rather than the motion of the Earth. Specifically, a second was defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 cycles of microwave light absorbed or emitted by the hyperfine transition of cesium-133 atoms in their ground state undisturbed by external fields. <br /> <br />Since the 17th century, time has for the most part been measured astronomically via the solar day. But in the 1940s, it was established that the earth's rotation is not constant, as the earth is spinning slower than it did years ago. <br /> <br />Part of what NTP provides is coordination to UTC. UTC provides operating systems and applications with a common index to synchronize events and prove that events happened when timestamps state they did. UTC is a 24-hour clock system and that any given moment, UTC is the same no matter where you are located. <br /> <br />For the purist, UTC really stands for Coordinated Universal Time, but both terms are used. Mills somewhat humorously notes that we follow the politically correct convention of expressing international terms in English, and their abbreviations in French. <br /> <br />Chapter 15 concludes the book with a fascinating look at the technical history of NTP. As of mid-2006, NTP has been in use for over 25 years and remains one of the longest, if not longest running, continuously operating application protocols in use on the Internet. Currently in version 4.2.1, NTP is a well-developed, stable protocol. <br /> <br />For those that are simply interested in how time synchronization works, or are responsible for time synchronization in their organization, Computer Network Time Synchronization: The Network Time Protocol is the most comprehensive guide available to using NTP. <br /> <br />For those that need an exhaustive tome on all of the minutiae related to NTP and synchronization, this is the source. Short of a vendor and product analysis, the book covers every detail within NTP and is the definitive title on the subject. <br /> <br />Two new books on the subject in a year demonstrate the importance of time synchronization. While this is not likely indicative of a flood of new books on time synchronization, this book should be considered the last word on the topic. <br /> | |
