5.0 out of 5 stars A very handy and usefull book to have around., May 28, 2002

By	Michael J Woznicki "Michael J Woznicki" (Holland, MA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Having been involved in the IT industry for over 12 years, I am always looking to improve my skill set. One of the areas that I have been recently working on is TCP/IP. As an instructor this is an essentials topic for networking and this book is a handy reference manual to have around.

Covering over 500 pages, you'll start off with the origins of the TCP/IP suite and work with the TCP/IP model which has an excellent breakdown of the layers. Also the section covers the protocols like ICMP, TCP, UDP, POP, IMAP, HTTP, SNMP and DHCP.

Another area that I found very useful is the section devoted to discussing classless and classfull routing. There are more section like IP Routing, multicasting, IPSec, IP Over ATM, which is new to me and I fond this very informative as well as interesting.

Other topics also included are VoIP, and a 10 page overview of IPv6. Overall it was well worth the time spent reading and now it is a nice addition to the growing technical library.
