Product Description
In just 24 sessions of one hour or less, you’ll discover how to implement, monitor, and manage a TCP/IP network–even the latest cloud-based and IPv6 networks. Using this book’s straightforward, step-by-step approach, you’ll uncover the essentials of TCP/IP and put that knowledge to work through practical examples. Each lesson builds on what you’ve already learned, giving you a strong real-world foundation for success. Expert author and network engineer Joe Casad guides you from the basics to advanced techniques—including TCP/IP’s architecture, layers, subnetting, CIDR, routing, security, utilities, remote access, web services, streaming, and much more.
Practical discussions provide an inside look at TCP/IP components and protocols.
Step-by-step instructions walk you through many common tasks.
Q&As at the end of each hour help you test your knowledge.

Each chapter concludes with a summary, Q&A (only 4 or 5 questions, with the answers provided directly underneath each question), ~5 Q quiz (NOT multiple choice; answers provided at the back of the book), ~5 exercises, and a glossary of key terms. I'm typically a fan of more questions in the quizzes, but 5 is enough to broadly cover the concepts in the chapter, so more might be overkill. The difficulty of the quizzes is about what you'd expect - nothing too hard, nothing too easy, as long as you've read the chapter. I might have also asked for a book-wide quiz at the very end of the book to help reinforce material from 18 hours ago, but that isn't included. I appreciate the key terms glossary, but I personally would have preferred them at the back of the book since it'd be easier if you had to go back & look over words from a previous chapter. As it is, you'll need to hunt through the index for the particular word you need to look up to see where it is.
The writing style is fine for me, nothing to gimmicky with childish jokes or anything which some authors use to set themselves apart. Overall I was pretty impressed with the book as a general guide for experienced networkers or as an introductory guide for beginners. A lot of material is covered, but not too in-depth to cause confusion or long sleepless nights. I would have preferred a CD with a PDF version of the book included since I try to put most of my books on my iPad for easier access/searching/etc, but a CD is not included (presumably to keep down pirating). I know, I can purchase the Kindle version, but I like to keep physical books on my office shelves since sometimes it's just easier to throw a book in front of you when you're doing something.
Where do you go from here? I'd say study for the Network+ or CCNA certifications. This book is a great starting point for either exam (I'd go for the Network+ first), and you'll want to keep this book handy for quick references when you're getting into the nitty-gritty of the cert study books. I liked the book, would recommend it to others, am glad I got it, and will keep it on my shelf for future reference. BTW, Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away. Couldn't find it in the book, but it's a great mnemonic. If you don't know it - Google it.
