Chapter 1. Networking Theory
This chapter provides an overview of the basic concepts of networking and discusses essential topics of networking theory. Readers experienced with networking may choose to skip over some of these preliminary sections, although a refresher course on basic networking concepts will be useful, as later chapters presume a knowledge of this theory on the part of the reader. A solid understanding of the relationship between the various protocols that make up the TCP/IP suite is required for network programming.
