Over the years, thousands of tools have been developed for debugging TCP/IP networks. They range from very specialized tools that do one particular task, to generalized suites that do just about everything except replace bad Ethernet cables. Even better, many of them are absolutely free. There's only one problem: who has time to track them all down, sort through them for the best ones for a particular purpose, or figure out how to use them?Network Troubleshooting Tools does the work for you--by describing the best of the freely available tools for debugging and troubleshooting. You can start with a lesser-known version of ping that diagnoses connectivity problems, or take on a much more comprehensive program like MRTG for graphing traffic through network interfaces. There's tkined for mapping and automatically monitoring networks, and Ethereal for capturing packets a
EDITORIAL :
Hooray for Joseph Sloan, who has written Network Troubleshooting Tools. Sloan's book catalogs--and evaluates, with intelligent and carefully researched commentary--scores of free utilities that have been developed for monitoring, managing, and troubleshooting TCP/IP networks large and small. As such, it's a guide to the tools of the network administration trade. Without the concentrated wisdom that's found here, a network administrator might take years to stumble across all the fantastically useful utilities described in these pages, and waste all kinds of effort in the process. This book has found an excellent niche: a high-level technical book that earns its cover price by applying an author's experience and research to stuff that's freely available online, thus adding to readers' abilities to exploit the free stuff that's out there. The organization Sloan has chosen is interes
REVIEW :
I believe there may be worthwhile material in the book, but it's padded with English lit prattle.. And, in the words of “The Mikado” subconsciously it can add "artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative”.
In other words, it follows the ‘as far as I remember’ concept of memory which can always be a special problem for the autobiographer hence the ironic confession from Millett that “I am glad that I am not on oath” although such memoirs will always be a great read, in this case for the older practitioner as well as the newly qualified.
Certainly these memoirs are both frank and revealing in setting out a picture of Peter Millett’s life and career for most of us who know little of his activities in substantive detail. If you only have the time to read or money to buy one book on TCP/IP troubl
