Book Description:
Your first step into the world of TCP/IP networking * No TCP/IP
experience required * Learn TCP/IP basics with this reader-friendly
guide * Use hands-on activities to reinforce concepts and
understand TCP/IP * Employ real-world practices to understand
the practical benefits of the TCP/IP suite With the commercialization
of the Internet, TCP/IP has gone from a counter-culture protocol
used in academia and government research facilities to mainstream
— and Main Street — in less than 10 years. A vast
number of people rely on the Internet and on TCP/IP to conduct
their business, stay in touch with others, or just aimlessly
explore cyberspace. The majority of those users do not understand,
appreciate, or know what TCP/IP is, or even what it really
does for them. This book will change that! This book explores
TCP/IP in a reader-friendly manner that does not presume an
existing base of knowledge. The reader is introduced to the
concept of packetized data transfer, open networking, reference
models, and standards bodies. This forms the context for introducing
the architecture of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The TCP/IP
protocol suite is then dissected so that the reader can appreciate
its components, their functions, and their respective uses.
Lastly, the book takes a look at some of the services that
are either native to the TCP/IP protocol suite or enabled
by it. These services are examined from the user's perspective,
so they appreciate what tools they can use both implicitly
and explicitly on a TCP/IP network.
