Description: Finally, there's an authoritative, real-world guide to analyzing and troubleshooting complex enterprise networks! Readers will find invaluable "straight-from-the-trenches" tips, diagrams, trace file snapshots -- everything they need to keep networks operating at peak performance. Haugdahl starts with a detailed overview of network analysis and troubleshooting using protocol analyzers. Next, he reviews key testing issues and techniques at every network layer. The book covers virtually every key protocol and topology in wide use, including 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Token Ring, NetWare, TCP/IP, Windows, and more. Haugdahl offers real-world insight into how these technologies actually work -- not just how they're supposed to work. Finally, he details expert baselining techniques for network planners and architects; the best metrics for analyzing throughput and latency. No other book contains as much detailed, battle-tested information for network engineers and administrators. A fully searchable CD-ROM contains an extensive library of technical papers and resources.
