Network Protocols and Technologies
It probably hasn't escaped you attention that Computer Networks (Social and Otherwise) are possibly one of the most important technologies invented in the last century. But how do they work? I mean really work under the hood?Well you have come to the right place.
Network Technologies & Relay Systems
- Ethernet & IEEE 802.3
- Token Ring
- Fiber Distributed Data Interface
- Relay Systems
- WAN
Addressing
- Addressing Schemes
- Routing
- Address Resolution Protocol MAC Addresses
- Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
- Subnetting
Main Protocols
- Multi-Homing
- IP Datagrams
- IP Version 6
- Internet Control Messaging Protocol (ICMP)

- User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
- The Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
- Telnet
- Rlogin
- File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

- Filtering Packets on Different Protocols
Request for Comments
Before you start anywhere you probably want to keep this diagram in your mind. I lifted & modified from RFC-1180. I spent a lot of time confused about these diagrams and what they meant. If you are too, then please read this first.
