Check out my introductory book on TCP/IP: TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview .

I am an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Duke University. I taught Graduate Networking course (CPS214) in Spring '04. I also work in research and development within IBM's WebSphere Technology Institute, where I am the Lead Engineer on the Application-Oriented Networking (AON) initiative. In my previous IBM job, I was with the ITSO, writing books and teaching workshops world-wide on TCP/IP. Please visit my personal home page.
