Illustrated TCP-IP - A Graphic Guide To The Protocol Suite


Acknowledgments

Two people made this book possible, Margaret Hendrey and Marjorie Spencer. I provided the information, but it was the continuous work of these two that produced this book. The amount of work it takes to put something like this together covers a long time and without these individuals’ assistance, this book would not have been the same.

How to Use This Book

With the amount of information we are forced to consume everyday, it would be nice to simply skim over a few sentences in a paragraph to get the key points of the topic. That is what the Illustrated Network books are about. Each page has a graphic and concise text that makes key points quick to learn and review.

Like all books in the Illustrated Network series, this one is very detailed, yet it is written in way that makes it easy to comprehend. Eighty percent of what is commonly written about is filler information. What this book does is extract the twenty percent of the required information and places this information in an easy to use format. A similar format is used quite often with training material. As we all know, training must be done is a very structured and concise fashion and it must be delivered within a limited window of time. I have taken this quick learning concept further by using a combination of a text book and a training manual—producing the format of this book.

This book is built specifically to be used as both a reference manual and a text book. There is no reason to read it from cover to cover. A topic can simply be turned to and quickly learned without having to read the whole book.

The back of the book contains a CD. The graphics containing all the key points of the lessons are provided on this CD. You can use the graphics to create a customized training slide show, or use them in a classroom setting in conjunction with the book. The files are in a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The version of PowerPoint used is PowerPoint 97. Simply start your PowerPoint application and open one of the files on the CD corresponding to the information in the book.This book is dedicated to a good friend of mine, for whom I continue to have great admiration. His tireless instruction of limitless boundaries will forever be remembered. His thoughts and ideas were given to me years ago, but I continue to use them successfully everyday.

This book is dedicated to John J. (JJ) Anderson.
