Overview

Book Description The internet runs on TCP/IP and HTTP-yet few professionals truly understand how these protocols work beneath the surface. Mastering TCP/IP & HTTP Protocols is a comprehensive, hands-on guide for network engineers, developers, IT professionals, and students who want to design, troubleshoot, optimize, and secure modern networks. This book bridges foundational concepts with advanced real-world applications, covering everything from packet flow and protocol internals to cloud networking, service meshes, and AI-assisted troubleshooting. With detailed explanations, practical labs, and real packet captures, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to tackle complex network challenges. Inside This Book, You'll Learn: How the TCP/IP stack operates, including IP addressing, routing, NAT, and congestion control How HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 (QUIC) work, and how they impact performance and reliability The inner workings of TLS 1.3: encryption, handshakes, certificates, and secure communication How to analyze traffic with Wireshark, tcpdump, and curl, uncovering latency, packet loss, retransmissions, and security issues Modern cloud networking architectures in AWS, Azure, and GCP Kubernetes networking, CNI plugins, service meshes, and containerized microservices communication Zero Trust security, mTLS, certificate pinning, and defense against common attacks like MITM, SYN floods, and spoofing How to optimize performance, including TCP window scaling, HTTP caching, CDNs, QUIC tuning, and sub-second web server response Hands-On Labs Include: Capturing and analyzing TCP, UDP, HTTP, and QUIC traffic Building a secure HTTPS web server with Let's Encrypt Troubleshooting real-world issues: HTTP timeouts, API lag, DNS failures Observing network performance in cloud and containerized environments Who Should Read This Book: Network engineers and architects Cloud engineers and DevOps professionals Backend developers and API engineers Cybersecurity analysts Students preparing for networking or cloud certifications Whether you're preparing for certifications, advancing your career, or building high-performance, secure networks, Mastering TCP/IP & HTTP Protocols provides the practical knowledge and hands-on experience to master modern networking.
