Introduction
When you’re learning any new topic or technology, it’s important tohave all of the basics at your disposal. The Sybex Foundations seriesprovides the building blocks of specific technologies that help youestablish yourself in IT.
TCP/IP is the de facto protocol of the Internet, and this protocolis supported by every major network operating system. As moreorganizations and individuals connect networks and computers to theInternet and one another, there is a continuing need for ITprofessionals to have a thorough understanding of this protocol suite.
TCP/IP Foundations assumes no prior knowledge of TCP/IP and provides asolid introduction to this core networking topic, explaining thefundamentals of TCP/IP in simple terms with tangible examples.
My goal with TCP/IP Foundations is to introduce you to TCP/IP conceptsso that you’ll come away with an intermediate understanding of TCP/IP.This book isn’t boringly technical; each topic is covered to sufficientdepth, but not to an extreme.
As a network administrator and instructor, I have several years’experience working in the computer industry and specifically withTCP/IP. Pulling from this experience, I’ve tried to present therelevant material in an interesting way, and I’ve included what I havefound to be the most important concepts. The book is filled withseveral simple examples, diagrams, and screen captures in an effort tomake the TCP/IP protocol more tangible.
This book is neither operating system–specific norsoftware-specific. Concepts are presented so that you can gain anunderstanding of the topic without being tied to a particular platform.
