5.1 INTRODUCTION

This book is based on the premise that the transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) suite will be the dominant set of telecommunications protocols used by a wide range of endpoint devices in future evolution of the Internet. Given this premise, it is necessary to present the reader with a background in the TCP/IP protocol suite. Our primary interest in the TCP/IP suite is in how it affects the underlying transport network. With this interest in mind, we concentrate on the systemic impact of the TCP/IP suite but do not attempt to present all the details. A fuller presentation of the ...
