Groundbreaking Patterns for Building Simpler, More Powerful
Networks In "Patterns in Network Architecture," pioneer John Day
takes a unique approach to solving the problem of network
architecture. Piercing the fog of history, he bridges the gap
between our experience from the original ARPANET and today's
Internet to a new perspective on networking. Along the way, he
shows how socioeconomic forces derailed progress and led to the
current crisis. Beginning with the seven fundamental, and still
unanswered, questions identified during the ARPANET's development,
"Patterns in Network Architecture" returns to bedrock and traces
our experience both good and bad. Along the way, he uncovers
overlooked patterns in protocols that simplify design and
implementation and resolves the classic conflict between connection
and connectionless while retaining the best of both. He finds deep
new insights into the core challenges of naming and addressing,
along with results from upper-layer architecture. All of this in
Day's deft hands comes together in a tour de force of elegance and
simplicity with the annoying turn of events that the answer has
been staring us in the face: Operating systems tell us even more
about networking than we thought. The result is, in essence, the
first "unified theory of networking," and leads to a simpler, more
powerful--and above all--more scalable network infrastructure. The
book then lays the groundwork for how to exploit the result in the
design, development, and management as we move beyond the
limitations of the Internet. Using this new model, Day shows how
many complex mechanisms in the Internet today (multihoming,
mobility, and multicast) are, with this collapse in complexity, now
simply a consequence of the structure. The problems of router table
growth of such concern today disappear. The inescapable conclusion
is that the Internet is an unfinished demo, more in the tradition
of DOS than Unix, that has been living on Moore's Law and 30 years
of band-aids. It is long past time to get networking back on track.
- Patterns in network protocols that synthesize "contradictory"
approaches and simplify design and implementation- "Deriving" that
networking is interprocess communication (IPC) yielding- A
distributed IPC model that repeats with different scope and range
of operation- Making network addresses topological makes routing
purely a local matter- That in fact, private addresses are the
norm--not the exception--with the consequence that the global
public addresses required today are unnecessary- That mobility is
dynamic multihoming and unicast is a subset of multicast, but
multicast devolves into unicast and facilitates mobility- That the
Internet today is more like DOS, but what we need should be more
like Unix- For networking researchers, architects, designers,
engineers Provocative, elegant, and profound, "Patterns in Network
Architecture" transforms the way you envision, architect, and
implement networks. Preface: The Seven Unanswered Questions xiii
