Chapter 1. An Introduction to TCP/IP

If you’ve been using TCP/IP-based networking products for any length of time at all, you’re probably already aware of how IP addressing, routing, and other fundamental aspects of the Internet family of protocols work, at least from a user’s perspective.

What you probably don’t know—unless you’ve been formally trained in these subjects—is what makes TCP/IP work from the wire’s perspective, or from the perspective of the applications in use on your network. This chapter provides you with an introduction to these viewpoints, providing you with a better understanding of the nature of the traffic on your network.
