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.
