There are billions and billions of devices connected to networks today, and each one of them is running the TCP/IP stack. As a Network Engineer, knowledge of how IPv4, TCP, and UDP operate is a must, and this course will give you that knowledge. You'll learn about the historic origins of the Internet Protocol, the structure of IPv4 addresses, the details of each of the fields within an IPv4 header and then proceed to learn about the differences between UDP and TCP. You'll also learn how to view the IPv4 information in your own system whether it be Windows-based, Mac or a Linux device.
