An illustrated book in large type. We would call this an easy learning book. It does cover everything which means that it covers technical things until you have read about them and then they are no longer technical. We like this book for getting an overall grasp of its subject. 16.12.99 5188

Programming Internet Email

Voice over IP Fundamentals

Davidson, Jonathan & Peters, James Cisco Press Cisco Press is a publishing alliance between Cisco Systems and the Pearson Education division of Pearson PLC.  ISBN 1-57870-168-6 373 pages 2000 46.50 [pounds sterling]

The key to this book is the fundamentals in its title. Largely the book deals with switching i.e. setting up calls over both existing telephone networks and over IP (i.e. the Internet) networks. Numbering systems and setting up connections is by no means straight forward. But it is fundamental so that is what the book explains. The actual transmission of speech is covered but then that is the easy bit. A very good book for someone who has to come to terms with what can be done easily and well. 20.9.00 5272

Internet host requirements are specified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (c/o Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), Reston, VA, www.ietf.org) Founded in 1986, the IETF is a non-membership, open, voluntary standards organization dedicated to identifying problems and opportunities in IP data networks and proposing technical solutions to the  (IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force.

Published online as RFCs (Request for Comments), these requirements are designated as part of the STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialing) Long distance dialing outside of the U.S. that does not require operator intervention. STD prefix codes are required and billing is based on call units, which are a fixed amount of money in the currency of that country.  (Standards) document series, and must be supported by any standards-compliant system connected to the Internet.

The emergence of the Web has done more to change the Internet than all of the many applications that once defined it. No single standards document specifies the World Wide Web, but rather an entire sequence of documents published as Requests for Comments (RFCs). This book compiles and organises these essential documents in a single printed volume, adding an introduction and an extensive index. This means you no longer have to search through countless RFCs to find the answer to your question about a World Wide Web protocol - all specifications are compiled in a single book, with an index that makes answers easier to locate. This book contains the most important and relevant RFCs describing or affecting the World Wide Web, including specifications for the protocols that define how Web servers and Web browsers The following is a list of web browsers.

The IETF decided that the Internet community should have access to that kind of information,and more, in a set of documents called the Best Current Practices (BCP) series. Published simultaneously in the Requests for Comments (RFCS) series, each BCP goes beyond the basic protocol specifications to explain how, not just what, to do over the Internet. 16.1.01 5334
