The Illustrated Network How TCP IP Works in a Modern Network

This is not a book on how to use the Internet. It is a book about how the Internet
is made useful for you. The Internet is a public global network that runs on TCP/
IP, which is frequently called the Internet Protocol Suite. A networking protocol
is a set of rules that must be followed to accomplish something, and TCP/IP is
actually a synthesis of the first two protocols that launched the Internet in its
infancy, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP),
which of course, allowed the transmission of information across the then youthful
Internet. TCP/IP is the heart and soul of modern networks, and this book illustrates
how that is accomplished. By using TCP/IP, we can observe how modern
networks operate by following the transmission of modern data across all sorts of
Internet connections.
