Editorial Review:
This book will be indispensable to Unix system administrators. It describes how to set up and administer a network of Unix systems using the TCP/IP protocols, taking a thoroughly practical approach. Topics covered include basic system configuration, routing, common network applications, and many others.
This complete guide to setting up and running a TCP/IP network is essential for network administrators, and invaluable for users of home systems that access the Internet. The book starts with the fundamentals -- what protocols do and how they work, how addresses and routing are used to move data through the network, how to set up your network connection -- and then covers, in detail, everything you need to know to exchange information via the Internet.
Included are discussions on advanced routing protocols (RIPv2, OSPF, and BGP) and the gated software package that implements them, a tutorial on configuring important network services -- including DNS, Apache, sendmail, Samba, PPP, and DHCP -- as well as expanded chapters on troubleshooting and security. "TCP/IP Network Administration" is also a command and syntax reference for important packages such as gated, pppd, named, dhcpd, and sendmail.
With coverage that includes Linux, Solaris, BSD, and System V TCP/IP implementations, the third edition contains:
Overview of TCP/IP
Delivering the data
Network services
Getting startedM
Basic configuration
Configuring the interface
Configuring routing
Configuring DNS
Configuring network servers
Configuring sendmail
Configuring Apache
Network security
Troubleshooting
Appendices include "dip," "ppd," and "chat" reference, a "gated" reference, a "dhcpd" reference, and a "sendmail" reference
This new edition includes ways of configuring Samba to provide file and print sharing on networks that integrate Unix and Windows, and a new chapter is dedicated to the important task of configuring the Apache web server. Coverage of network securitynow includes details on OpenSSH, stunnel, gpg, iptables, and the access control mechanism in xinetd. Plus, the book offers updated information about DNS, including details on BIND 8 and BIND 9, the role of classless IP addressing and network prefixes, and the changing role of registrars.
Without a doubt, "TCP/IP Network Administration, 3rd Edition" is a must-have for all network administrators and anyone who deals with a network that transmits data over the Internet.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Administer for performance, not convenience
Anyone who has been concerned or is currently concerned with the performance of networks, no matter how large, has had to deal with the TCP/IP protocol. It has its origins in the late 1960's, being invented essentially by government researchers and finally finding its first specification in 1979. This book is written for Unix systems administrators who must deal with the intricacies of TCP/IP but unfortunately does not suggest to them methods for improving TCP/IP performance. It is one thing to administer ... Read More
Rating:  - TCP/IP Fundamentals
This book covers the in's and out's of TCP/IP with a Unix focus. Non-Unix users will find this book equally useful as the Unix user, in that it presents the information in a format that is easy to follow as well as comprehensive.
This book doesn't cater to the casual reader, instead it gives the facts required for administration of a TCP/IP based network. If you want to understand this topic, this is the book to use.
Rating: - Cannot Live Without
Though this book is oriented to UNIX, I find it tremendously useful as a Windows administrator. Core concepts gleamed from this book has catapulted me greatly into my career, and allowed me to solve complex networking problems and avert major disasters.
I was introduced to this book for a UNIX Network Administration course, and from this I was able to really flesh out core TCP/IP concepts as well as play with services like DHCP and DNS, which are essential pieces for a Windows Active Directory ... Read More
Rating: - Best TCP/IP Book Hands Down!
As with all of O'Reilly's books, this one is technically accurate and fundamentally sound.
It does not teach TCP/IP from a simplistic approach--telling you only what you need to know and leaving you begging for more. It lays a ground work based upon the actual theory of these protocols and how they were developed and the thinking that was involved in their creation.
From there, it takes you step by step through the layers of the protocols and presents everything that most people would need to know- ... Read More
Rating:  - A decent book to learn from and reference.
This coveres some aspects, and can be used to learn from--but doesn't cover all the aspects that you'll want to know. For a reference, it's pretty good too. It's a pretty decent book, though has a good mix of information that makes it a little better than average.
