Apache and Networking
At its core, Apache is about communication over networks. Apache uses the TCP/IP protocol as its foundation, providing an implementation of HTTP. Developers who want to use Apache should have at least a foundation understanding of TCP/IP and may need more advanced skills if they need to integrate Apache servers with other network infrastructure like firewalls and proxy servers.
