Tcp/ip primer plus

TCP/IP Primer Plus explores the TCP/IP protocol suite layer by layer. The book provides a solid foundation of general TCP/IP knowledge. The author's extensive background and real-world experience combined with a clear methodical presentation make the contents very accessible. You'll first learn the fundamentals of TCP/IP and then see how to apply that knowledge to solve common as well as complex networking problems. After reading the book, you'll have a good understanding of each protocol and how to use it, as well as the confidence to deal with everyday situations requiring configuration and implementation of the suite.

The book presents a vendor-neutral perspective on TCP/IP, which is technically accurate and easily applicable to a variety of network environments. Amply illustrated, it includes the most up-to-date coverage of this important and popular networking topic.
