There are several books in print that are classroom oriented in that they explain the theory with the underlying math. Can others mention some? See if you can contact Doug Comer at Purdue University. The following info is several years old. Hope that it is still current. e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.cs.purdue.edu/people/comer
He is the author/co-author of a series of books on TCP/IP. (among others) He regularly teaches workshops at Networld+Interop. He was one of several professors who attempted to create a part time high level networking academy for those already in the workforce. > -----Original Message----- > From: Greg Reaume [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 3:20 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: OT: Know of any good internetworking programs?
