TCP/IP Formal Paper
Introduction
The document that I chose to write about was a book entitled TCP/IP Clearly Explained, by Pete Loshin. I chose this subject to research, hopefully to gain a better understanding of TCP/IP for myself and in doing so, my research and/or analysis of this book will also present to you in such a way, that you too, will also receive additional knowledge, or at the very minimum, a curiosity will be peaked and you will want to learn more about these protocols. I will not have time to delve into both protocols, so I will focus mainly on the Internet Protocol (IP) since this clearly falls under the topic of ?interconnecting? networks in that it is a protocol that makes the Internet possible. Interestingly enough, I began this project by digging through the RFC documents, the one in particular was FYI3 and by going to libraries and a couple of book stores, eventually to stumble across this book. It was published within the last ten years, 2003 to be precise.
The book is divided into six parts (and a total of thirty one chapters) with the seventh part devoted to several Appendices that provide a summary
