For advanced undergraduate courses in Computer Networking, held in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering departments.
Assuming no knowledge of industry jargon, this book describes the design of network systems such as routers, bridges, switches, firewalls, and other equipment used in the Internet. It considers the functionality required for protocol processing, and explains how the functionality has been implemented on a range of hardware architectures. Comer focuses on network processor technology, a recent development that has become one of the standard tools used by designers.
• Explores network processors and surveys network processor architectures.
• Explains design complexity.
• Covers architectural approaches – Gives examples of commercial network processors that follow each approach.
• Uses the Intel IXP 2xxx series of network processors as a detailed example.
• Presents all the code needed for an implementation of Network Address Translation (NAT) on the IXP 2400.
• CD-ROM included with each text – Gives students tools from
Intel’s Software Development Kit (SDK).
– Programmers who do not have network processor hardware can use the tool to create and simulate programs for a network processor; even readers who do not have access to hardware can experience programming a network processor firsthand.
• Web site to accompany the text at
http://www.npbook.cs.purdue.edu/intel - Contains all the program examples from the text as well as a set of course notes for professors.
