whitepaper Understanding Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1w)20040302121729 Cisco
  Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP IEEE 802.1w) can be seen as an evolution of the 802.1d standard more than a revolution. In most cases, RSTP performs better than Cisco's proprietary extensions without any additional configuration. 802.1w is also capable of reverting back to 802.1d in order to interoperate with legacy bridges (thus dropping the benefits it introduces) on a per-port basis. This document briefly explains the enhancements added by RSTP to the previous 802.1d standard.   
whitepaper Understanding Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s)20040302121729 Cisco
  Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) is a new IEEE standard inspired from the Cisco proprietary Multiple Instances Spanning Tree Protocol (MISTP) implementation. This white paper provides a detailed description for this technology.   
whitepaper iSCSI for Network Storage0000-00-00 Adaptec
  This paper presents a general overview of iSCSI, outlining its introduction, details of the protocol, user benefits, and several typical deployment scenarios and applications. iSCSI is an end-to-end protocol for transporting storage I/O block data over an IP network. The protocol is used on servers (initiators), storage devices (targets), and protocol transfer gateway devices. iSCSI uses standard Ethernet switches and routers to move the data from server to storage. It also enables IP and Ethernet infrastructure to be used for expanding access to SAN storage and extending SAN connectivity across any distance.   
whitepaper TCP/IP and IPX Routing Tutorial20040302121526 sangoma.com
  This tutorial is intended to supply enough information to set up a relatively simple WAN or Internet connected LAN using WANPIPE router cards or other routers. Explanations of IP addresses, classes, netmasks, subnetting, and routing are provided, and several example networks are considered. Example address and routing configurations are provided for running WANPIPE router cards under the following protocol stacks and platforms Unix and Linux., Microsoft TCP/IP on Windows NT Workstation/Server and Windows 95, and others. A basic explanation of IPX routing is also included.   
whitepaper Beginners Guide to SMTP20040302121527 Centreline 2000
  The terms SMTP and POP3 stand for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and Post Office Protocol version 3 respectively. The full names do give a clue as to what they each is used for, but not enough to leave you much wiser.

The good news is that you do not need to know any of the technical details of either SMTP or POP3, so you can leave that to the programmers. 		  
whitepaper Open System Interconnection (OSI) Protocols20040302121527 Cisco
  The Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol suite is comprised of numerous standard protocols that are based on the OSI reference model.The OSI specifications were conceived and implemented by two international standards organizations: the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T). This chapter provides a summary of the OSI protocol suite and illustrates its mapping to the general OSI reference model.   
whitepaper Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)20040302121527 Cisco
  The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol designed to facilitate the exchange of management information between network devices. By using SNMP-transported data (such as packets per second and network error rates), network administrators can more easily manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.   
whitepaper Fine-Tuning for IP QoS20040302121521 CMP Media
  IP QoS (Quality of Service) is a highly effective way of getting more out of the existing LAN and point-to-point WAN connections. Furthermore, chances are that the existing infrastructure already has the functionality necessary to implement IP QoS with only a few software changes. This primer on IP QoS takes an in-depth look at many different aspects of IP QoS, with a focus on how to enable this functionality on a variety of Cisco Systems internetworking equipment.   
whitepaper Using SSH Tunneling2001-02-23 O'Reilly Media
  A tunnel is a networking term with an appropriate name. It refers to a connection, usually encrypted, that connects two computers together across another, usually untrusted network. Rather than connecting to the mail server directly, we establish an SSH connection to the internal network that the mail server lives in (frequently, the mail server itself). Your SSH client software sets up a port forwarding mechanism, so that traffic that goes to your laptop's POP port magically gets forwarded over the encrypted tunnel and ends up at the mail server's POP port.   
whitepaper Bluetooth Protocol Architecture Version 1.020040302121519 Bluetooth
  The Bluetooth protocols are intended for rapidly developing applications using the Bluetooth technology. The lower layers of the Bluetooth protocol stack are designed to provide a flexible base for further protocol development. Other protocols, such as RFCOMM, are adopted from existing protocols and these protocols are only modified slightly for the purposes of Bluetooth. The upper layer protocols are used without modifications. In this way, existing applications may be reused to work with the Bluetooth technology and the interoperability is ensured more easily. This White Paper describes the protocol architecture developed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).
