With the explosive expansion of the Internet, more and more network administrators are
finding themselves deeply involved in configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting TCP/IP
networks. Though there are many books available on TCP/IP, some of them quite good and
comprehensively written, there are few that focus on the needs of a network administrator
trying to make a TCP/IP network function in a commercial Internet environment. That is
precisely the goal of this technical reference: to provide a concise and searchable information
base so that a network administrator or technician who has questions about TCP/IP can find the
answers that they need in a timely fashion.
The technical reference material is designed so that it can be read as an educational text to provide a working knowledge of TCP/IP terminology and concepts. It has also been developed to be used as a searchable reference for design, operations, and support of a working TCP/IP network. |
