This book gives students and professionals alike both the understanding of fundamental principles and the practical guidance they need to develop successful protocol-based networking solutions. It provides Abstract Protocol notation (AP), a useful formal notation for specifying network protocols, step-by-step guidance on designing all types of network protocols, from basic routing and switching protocols to data
