Truly a classic, this work (and it's companion, Introduction to the Internet Protocols) were my original "online guides" in TCP/IP networking (and networking in general). You'd think they'd be dated, sixteen years later, but of course TCP/IP itself hasn't changed, ethernet hasn't fundamentally changed -- amazingly, these are still some of the best simple introductions available anywhere on or off the net. Thank you, Charles L. Hedrick, whereever you might be!

This  is an introduction for people who intend to set up or administer
a network based on the Internet networking protocols (TCP/IP).
