Ladies and Gentlemen, I have completed this short introduction to TCP/IP.
If you have a question about a TCP/IP protocol or the application of these concepts to your situation,
please post your question in its own thread. This is a conceptual introduction to networking, it is not a FAQ and it is not a Q&A thread.
Should you have a question about a technology, application, or protocol not discussed here,
please post your question in its own thread. Examples of this might include IPSec, Ethernet collision detection, firewalls, security, traffic shaping, SSH, FTP, PXE, fragmentation, Quality of Service bits ... RFCs and standards ... Microsoft Networking protocols, WiFi SSIDs....
Should you have a clarifying question about the presentation of these concepts, you may post here. Suggestions for corrections to the text will be graciously received either in public or by PM, though they may not be accepted.
Thank you.
