The world of IT is always evolving, but in every area there are stable, core concepts that anyone just setting out needed to know last year, needs to know this year, and will still need to know next year. The purpose of the Foundations series is to identify these concepts and present them in a way that gives you the strongest possible starting point, no matter what your endeavor.
TCP/IP Foundations provides essential knowledge about the two protocols that form the basis for the Internet, as well as many other networks. What you learn here will benefit you in the short term, as you acquire and practice your skills, and in the long term, as you use them. Topics covered include:
- The origins of TCP/IP and the Internet
- The layers comprising the OSI and DoD models
- TCP/IP addressing
- Subnet masks
- Creating custom subnet masks
- Supernetting and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
- Name resolution
- The Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic DNS
- Windows Internet Naming Services (WINS)
- The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
- What to expect with IPv6
But How Do It Know? - The Basic Principles of Computers for Everyone

Host will examine every packet to see if each is addressed to that host’s unique hardware address. A packet may be intended for all hosts on a network. This type of packet is called a broadcast packet. A broadcast packet contains the target hardware address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Internet layer Layer between the Network Interface and Transport layers of the DoD model; protocols at the Internet layer focus on addressing. The Internet layer of the TCP/IP model lies between the Network Interface.
Resolved, ARP maintains that information for a short time. Because the host wants to communicate with another host, but only has the IP address, ARP will ask, “Hey, what is your hardware address?” and wait for an answer. The first place that ARP looks to resolve an IP address to a hardware address is in ARP cache. ARP cache is an area in random access memory (RAM) where ARP keeps the IP and hardware addresses that have been resolved. If ARP can find the IP and hardware addresses in ARP cache, the.
Leaving the LAN. Picture an island with a city full of TCP/IP buildings, and the only way to get on or off the island is to cross a bridge. This connection to the island—the bridge—is where a checkpoint belongs. If there are other ways to access the island, a checkpoint must be at each path. On a network, a firewall must be placed at every entrance or exit to the Internet. At the checkpoints, each packet is examined, and based on the rules established by the administrator, the packet is either.
Yourself in IT. TCP/IP is the de facto protocol of the Internet, and this protocol is supported by every major network operating system. As more organizations and individuals connect networks and computers to the Internet and one another, there is a continuing need for IT professionals to have a thorough understanding of this protocol suite. TCP/IP Foundations assumes no prior knowledge of TCP/IP and provides a solid introduction to this core networking topic, explaining the fundamentals of.
Addresses with the subnet goggles and confirm that neither the Ss nor the Hs are all 1s or all 0s. RFC 1878 describes a means of subnet addressing that allows for all 1s and all 0s in the subnet bits. Most hardware and software do not support RFC 1878 addressing; check the documentation of the hardware or software that you are using. Creating a Custom Subnet Mask The easiest way to create valid subnet masks is to use a subnet calculator, like the one mentioned earlier. Several subnet calculators.
