Part I: Networking Fundamentals
Part I of this book introduces you to the most important topics in TCP/IP networking. Chapter 1 introduces the terms, concepts, and protocols for TCP/IP. Chapters 2 and 3 then look at how networking devices send data to each other over a physical link, with Chapter 2 focusing on links between nearby devices (local-area networks [LANs]) and Chapter 3 focusing on links between far away devices (wide-area networks [WANs]).
Chapter 4 focuses on the rules of IP routing, which pulls the LAN and WAN links together by forwarding data all the way from one user device to another. Finally, Chapter 5 looks at several other topics, mostly related to how applications make use of the TCP/IP network.
