 Radia
Perlman's work has had a profound impact on the
field of networking. She was featured in the 25th
anniversary edition of Data Communications magazine as
one of the 25 people whose work has most influenced the
industry. Perlman is the creator of the spanning tree
algorithm, upon which bridges (switches) are based. She
designed IS-IS, Simple Multicast, and sabotage-proof
routing. She is also co-author of Network Security:
Private Communication in a Public World. This volume and
Interconnections were both listed in the top 10 most
useful networking reference books by Network Magazine.
Perlman is currently a Distinguished Engineer at Sun
Microsystems, Inc. She holds about 50 patents and a
Ph.D. from M.I.T.

Featured Title
 Interconnections,
Second Edition : Bridges, Routers, Switches, and
Internetworking Protocols
By Perlman,
Radia
Radia Perlman's Interconnections is
recognized as a leading text on networking theory and
practice. It provides authoritative and comprehensive
information on general networking concepts, routing
algorithms and protocols, addressing, and the mechanics
of bridges, routers, switches, and hubs. This Second
Edition is expanded and updated to cover the newest
developments in the field, including advances in
switching and bridge technology, VLANs, Fast Ethernet,
DHCP, ATM, and IPv6. Additional new topics include IPX,
AppleTalk, and DECnet. You will gain a deeper
understanding of the range of solutions possible and
find valuable information on protocols for which
documentation is not readily available elsewhere.
Written by the inventor of many of the algorithms
that make switching and routing robust and efficient,
Interconnections, Second Edition offers an expert's
insight into how and why networks operate as they do.
Perlman describes all of the major networking algorithms
and protocols in use today in clear and concise terms,
while exploring the engineering trade-offs that the
different approaches represent.
