Hi Folks,

I'm searching an fundamental book about how to (inter)connect two networks. It should be about how to connect your business network in a secure and reliable way to the internet. The book should contain some theoretical basics and common used practices. Focus is how to design such an network transfer point.

"The Illustrated Network: How TCP/IP Works in a Modern Network" (ISBN-13: 978-0123745415) should cover this topic. cheers, Jens -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Foelderichstr. 40 | 13595 Berlin, Germany | +49-151-18721264 | | http://blog.quux.de | jabber: jenslink@guug.de | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, designing a secure network transfer point is a *really* tiny part of securely connecting to the Internet. For example, SQL injections work just fine going through a bulletproof transfer point. Make sure you don't forget the endpoints.
