The first sentence of this book is, "<i>This is a book about building the |
|
network you need</i>". Taking it from there, Peter walks you through the whys |
|
and the hows of building the high performance, low maintenance network you need, |
|
using OpenBSD tools.<br> |
|
The book covers all bases from the basic one machine configuration and basic |
|
local area networks, all the way up to configurations with traffic shaping and |
|
load balancing with "self healing" networks and countermeasures against common |
|
problems such as DOS attempts and spamming. A basic understanding of TCP/IP |
|
and some Unix knowledge is assumed.<br> |
