Linux Routers: A Primer for Network Administrators: Mancill, Tony: 9780130090263: Book: Computers: eCampus.com

Save a fortune: Use Linux to deliver cost-effective, reliable routing services.

Linux routers are inexpensive, flexible, stable, adaptable, expandable, easy to manage, and based on proven technology. In Linux Routers, Second Edition, Tony Mancill shows you exactly how to configure, administer, and troubleshoot Linux routing for today's most common internetworking applications. Thoroughly updated for the latest technologies and version 2.4 of the Linux kernel, this edition includes practical coverage of dynamic routing, Quality of Service (QoS)?even next-generation IPv6 routing. Mancill's step-by-step explanations walk you through:

Choosing the right Linux software distribution and hardware platform
Building Ethernet LAN routers, including coverage of the Linux Router Project (LRP)
Implementing Internet, extranet, and Frame Relay routing
Creating VPN tunneling routers with iproute2 and FreeS/WAN
Providing remote access to satellite offices while conserving bandwidth
Using Linux IP firewalling features to improve network security
Providing routing services alongside Web and DNS services on a single platform
Monitoring Linux routers and maximizing availability in production environments

Whether your goal is to reduce network costs, add applications, solve problems you can't solve with "traditional" routers, or simply learn about routing hands-on without investing expensive, proprietary network gear, Linux Routers, Second Edition is all you need to get the job done.
