TCP/IP Foundations
  
The world of IT is always evolving, but in every area there are stable, core concepts that anyone just setting out needed to know last year, needs to know this year, and will still need to know next year. The purpose of the Foundations series is to identify these concepts and present them in a way that gives you the strongest possible starting point, no matter what your endeavor.

TCP/IP Foundations provides essential knowledge about the two protocols that form the basis for the Internet, as well as many other networks. What you learn here will benefit you in the short term, as you acquire and practice your skills, and in the long term, as you use them. Topics covered include:

  • The origins of TCP/IP and the Internet
  • The layers comprising the OSI and DoD models
  • TCP/IP addressing
  • Subnet masks
  • Creating custom subnet masks
  • Supernetting and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
  • Name resolution
  • The Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic DNS
  • Windows Internet Naming Services (WINS)
  • The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
  • What to expect with IPv6

This book had everything a non-expert would need to understand the basics of the TCP/IP protocol and networking.



It helped me greatly to better understand networking and the OSI model.



The tone is very readable. And the use of graphics was good but could be better



Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who is trying to build a strong foundation in networking. I loved the IP address allocation and subnetting chapters.It really cuts to the chase so the reader can be doing real work in a matter of minutes. I expect to see rapid updates to this book.



I'd like to see the WINS chapter removed and replaced with a few more chapters about IPV6.I like the authors to go more in depth on IP version 6.
