Object-Oriented Network Protocols

A key part of the design Process is a reference framework providing a common terminology and modeling technique, and the author introduces a modern framework deliberately using terminology familiar to well-known reference models. lie draws on his extensive experience, using accessible case studies to look in detail at the development of object-oriented network Protocols. lie then goes on to investigate how to achieve improvements in communications performance and reduced costs in protocol implementation.

If you are a computer professional interested in understanding and developing reusable protocol software, then this book is an essential read. It will give you :

• A vital understanding of networks from a new perspective
  
• A clear vision of the benefits of object oriented protocols
  
• A foundation for the object-oriented design and implementation of network communication protocols that you can put into practice, easing and accelerating the Process

The book is divided into three parts: fundamentals of networks and applications; a reference framework for modular communication systems; and case studies of system designs and implementations.
