Let me note that, as someone who knew the people who invented ethernet and IP, and who has some passing familiarity with these standards and protocols; I'd like to bring myself up-to-date on the standards as practiced today. Is anybody familiar with a book or a concise on-line source which talks about the extensions made to ethernet and ip networking in the last decade or so (GigE, Channel bonding, VLANs, IPSec, etc). Most things that I've been able to find are scattered references all over the place, or are too old to cover the more modern things.
