Synopsis
In this third edition of an acclaimed text, Pete Loshin provides an excellent introduction to TCP/IP: what it is, how it works, and what it does. Following in the tradition of the previous editions, TCP/IP Clearly Explained, Third Edition offers even clearer explanations of some of the trickier aspects of TCP/IP based upon comments from readers, as well as coverage of the most recent protocol developments.
TCP/IP Clearly Explained, Third Edition introduces TCP/IP networking to anyone interested in understanding how the Internet works from a nuts-and-bolts perspective. Users at all levels will find it an invaluable introduction and reference volume. Some TCP/IP books cover technical aspects in mind-numbing clinical detail, whereas others offer only bare oversimplifications of the protocols. What makes this book unique is that it provides an accessible yet complete introduction to the concepts and practice of TCP/IP networking suitable for everyone with an interest.
