Network Management Systems Essentials

This is the first book to provide a nonproduct-specific overview of the emerging discipline of network management. By compiling basic management techniques for today's most-implemented networks ( a definition which heavily emphasized LANs) into a single volume, the author is able to deliver three needed services: (1) a comparative framework for the operational features of OSI, TCP/IP, peer-to-peer, & client/server systems, (2) a basic understanding of internetworking & systems-level issues, & (3) enough NM fundamentals to orient the newcomer in this bewildering new field & to serve as a starting point for high-stakes design, purchase, & implementation decisions.Udupa, Divakara K. is the author of 'Network Management Systems Essentials' with ISBN 9780070657663 and ISBN 0070657661.
