The Basics of TCP/IP

TCP/IP (The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the protocol suite that drives the Internet

Internet Protocols (IP)

The Internet protocols are the world's most popular open-system (nonproprietary) protocol suite because they can be used to communicate across any set of interconnected networks and are equally well suited for LAN and WAN communications.

Daryl's TCP/IP Primer

This document is designed to give the reader a reasonable working knowledge of TCP/IP subnetting, addressing, and routing. It is not intended to be complete, or to cover all issues. This is targeted toward LAN administrators just moving to TCP/IP, however it should help anyone who wants to know a little (more) about how TCP/IP works.

TCP/IP and IPX Routing Tutorial

This tutorial is intended to supply enough information to set up a relatively simple WAN or Internet-connected LAN using WANPIPE™ router cards or other routers. Explanations of IP addresses, classes, netmasks, subnetting, and routing are provided, and several example networks are considered.

Cisco - TCP/IP

TCP is a connection-oriented transport protocol that sends data as an unstructured stream of bytes.

Windows and TCP/IP for Internet Access

In this paper, I describe the principal functions and services available via the Internet. Then I outline the technical background and terminology needed by the beginner who wants to make his PC a host on the Internet. Finally, I describe several Windows software packages and programs that facilitate using Internet services. All the software I describe is freely available over the Internet.
