[Herefordshire] Recommendations for network textbook/s?

[Noel McG.]

Hello Matt,

I have gleaned the info below from someone else on your behalf.

"Well there are really three different things here.

1. IP addresses and subnet masks are not at all difficult and plenty of 
information could be found about them through Google.

2. Looking at the network layers (the stack) is quite a challenge, but 
he could do worse than start here:

  http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/7/4/14743/01471

This chap is writing a series of articles on routing, of which the 
above is the fourth (others are linked from it). There is more to the 
stack than routing but if your man is interested in addressing, subnets 
and security then routing is probably at the heart of his interest.

3. Network security is a subject in its own right. O'Reilly books are 
all good and I am sure they have one or more on this topic."

Hope this may help.

Noel.
