The Internet Routing Protocols and Algorithms, edited by Y. A. Semenova and with the participation of the authors C. P. Whirlpool and W. About. Samoylova is a unique and in-depth research in the field of network technologies, which will be of interest to both professional IT specialists and students studying computer networks. This edition is not just a manual, but a real encyclopaedia of routing, which collects current knowledge and practical recommendations for working with protocols used in modern Internet networks. The book covers a wide range of topics, ranging from the basics of routing to complex algorithms that provide effective traffic management on the global network. The authors examine in detail protocols such as OSPF, BGP and RIP, explaining their principles of operation, advantages and disadvantages. Each chapter is imbued with practical examples and illustrations, which allows the reader not only to assimilate the theoretical material, but also to see its application in real conditions. Who is this book intended for? First of all, it will be useful for technical students studying network technologies, as well as beginners and experienced system administrators, network engineers and IT specialists . If you want to deepen your knowledge in the field of routing, understand how the Internet works, and learn how to apply this knowledge in practice, then this publication will become your indispensable assistant. The topics raised in the book cover not only technical aspects, but also strategic issues related to the design and optimization of network infrastructure. With the rapid growth of data volumes and an increase in the number of users, understanding the principles of routing becomes critical to ensure the reliability and speed of networks. The authors emphasize the importance of choosing the right protocols and algorithms to achieve maximum efficiency, which makes this book relevant and in demand in the modern information society. The style of the authors is clear and accessible, which allows even complex technical concepts to be explained in simple language. Yu. A. Semenov, known for his work in the field of network technologies, as well as C. P. Whirlwinds and W. About. Samoilov, who have a wealth of experience in teaching and practice, create a unique atmosphere in which the reader can not only learn, but also be inspired by new ideas. Their previous collaboration has already borne fruit in the form of other successful publications, such as “Networking Technologies: From Basics to Practice” and “Computer Network Security”, which confirms their authority in this area. The book “Protocols and algorithms of routing to the Internet” is not just a textbook, but a real find for those who want to understand the intricacies of the work of Internet networks. It invites the reader to a fascinating journey through the world of network technologies, where everyone will find something new and useful for themselves. If you are looking for quality routing literature that combines theory and practice, then this publication will be your faithful companion on the way to professional growth and development.
