Who Should Read This Book?
TCP/IP Foundations is designed to teach the fundamentals of the TCP/IP protocol stack to people who are fairly new to the topic. This book will be useful for:
◆ People interested in learning more about TCP/IP
◆ Decision-makers who need to know the fundamentals in order to make valid, informed choices around TCP/IP
◆ Administrators who feel they are missing some of the foundational information about TCP/IP
◆ Small business owners interested in the protocol they will likely use on their networks
◆ Those interested in learning more about how data moves across the Internet
◆ Instructors teaching a TCP/IP fundamentals course
◆ Students enrolled in a TCP/IP fundamentals course
What This Book Covers
Working with TCP/IP has been an interesting, exciting, and rewarding experience. As I continue to learn about computers and TCP/IP, the more I see the need to continue learning. No matter what sector of the computer industry you’re employed in (or even if you’re not employed in IT yet), TCP/IP is an important foundational topic that you must understand; TCP/IP is the current and future standard protocol for networking.
TCP/IP Foundations contains many drawings and charts that help create a comfortable learning environment. It provides many real-world analogies that you will be able to relate to and through which the TCP/IP protocol will become tangible. The analogies provide a simple way to understand the technical process that is occurring through TCP/IP.
This book continues to build your understanding about TCP/IP progressively, like climbing a ladder. Here’s how the information is presented:
Chapter 1 This chapter provides an overview of where TCP/IP and the Internet came from and how they are related.
Chapters 2–5 These chapters describe what a protocol is and what the OSI and DoD models are. These chapters include a discussion of what happens at each layer in the DoD model and why the model is important.
Chapters 6–10 These chapters describe TCP/IP addressing—what IP addresses look like and how they are implemented. You’ll learn how to assign IP addresses both manually and through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You’ll learn all about DHCP. You’ll also learn about subnet masks—what they are, what they do, and how to create them.
Chapters 11–14 These chapters focus on name resolution methods and implementations. You’ll learn why name resolution is needed and the steps you need to take to resolve names. You’ll learn about Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic DNS, and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS).
Chapter 15 You’ll learn about the future of TCP/IP—the transition to a new version of IP in the next few years. This chapter gives you a heads-up on what to expect, and tells you how to find out more.
Making the Most of This Book
At the beginning of each chapter of TCP/IP Foundations, you’ll find a list of the
topics I’ll cover within the chapter. To help you soak up new material easily, I’ve highlighted new terms, such as used by a custom subnet mask, in italics and defined them in the page margins. ke more effi- And to give you some hands-on experience, you’ll find Test It Out sections ss by creat- in the chapters that allow you to practice what you’ve just learned. In addition, several special elements highlight important information:
Notes provide extra information and references to related information. Tips are insights that help you perform tasks more easily and effectively. Warnings let you know about things you should—or shouldn’t—do as you learn more about TCP/IP.
At the end of each chapter, you can test your knowledge of the chapter’s relevant topics by answering the review questions. (You’ll find the answers to the review questions in Appendix A.)
There’s also some special material for your reference. If you’re wondering what certain acronyms stand for, Appendix B is an acronym guide spelling out the acronyms used in this book. If you’d like to quickly look up the meaning of a term, the Glossary has all the terms that have been introduced throughout the book.
