The TCP/IP Guide (2005)

Chapter 1 The TCP/IP Guide: Introduction and "Guide to The Guide" | 第1章 概述和導言

Chances are pretty good that even before you started reading this Guide, you had heard of "TCP/IP" -- even if you didn‘t know exactly what it was or even what all those letters stood for. The reason for this is simple: TCP/IP is everywhere!

It is today by far the most commonly-used internetworking protocol suite. It has gained prominence in large part due to its role in operating the global Internet, which has in a few short years transformed our society in so many ways. Millions of people use TCP/IP and the Internet without really knowing how they work. For those in the technology field, however, understanding TCP/IP is becoming more important with each passing year.

好機會呀好機會!即便你從前讀過本書也聽說過"TCP/IP",或者你壓根就不知道TCP/IP這些單詞是神馬意思。原因異常簡單:TCP/IP無處不在!時至今天,TCP/IP是最為普及的一種網絡互聯協議套裝。它之所以聲名遠播,得益於它在全球互聯網中所擔當的角色。而互聯網在短短的幾年裏,在許多方面改變了我們的社會。成千千上萬萬的人在使用TCP/IP, 在使用互聯網,雖然他們並不知道TCP/IP和互聯網的工作原理。然而,對那些技術領域的人們來說,理解TCP/IP顯得越來越重要了。(P.S. 不懂TCP/IP, 是不是很丟人?!)

As we journey together through this TCP/IP guide, we will explore many hundreds of pages of material that will explain both the generatilies and specifics of TCP/IP in a way that I hope you will find educational and interesting. Before diving into the actual technology, however, I felt that I should provide you with some introductory meterial to help frame the discussions that follow. Thus, I have included this section, to serve as an introduction to this Guide and to provide some information that will help you use it to its full potential.

I begin with some material that will be of interest to those who want to know the background of The TCP/IP Guide. I provide a general instroduction to the Guide, describing its history, and how it came about. I then describe the goals of this Guide and what I was trying to accomplish in writing it. I also discuss the scrope of the Guide, so you know what it covers and what it does not.
