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.
