Hi. I'd like to learn the TCP protocol in detail, if it's not too big, is there a document with a good description ? Most seem to be comercial or something...
-
IIRC it's still based on the OSI 7-layer model:
1. Application
2. Presentation
3. Session
4. Transport
5. Network
6. Data-Link
7. Physical
The OSI will probably document what each of these layers does in more detail. I can remember roughly what each one is for, but not the intricacies of how they do it (Network+ was a long time ago!)
[EDIT]
This Wikipedia document (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model) describes the layers in more detail.

Nice, maybe ISO 7498 is available somewhere .. 8-)

Turn the layer order around, then it makes more sense. ;-)
TCP/IP doesn't really take care of layers 5-7, that's the app's responsibility.
The ISO/OSI stuff is quite bloated and less relevant. This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP_model) is more what you want.

These two might a bit heavy for a beginner, but frankly they're great source of information:
RFC 793 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc793.html)
RFC 1180 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1180.html)
I'd suggest reading 1180 first, it's more of a tutorial, and as such easier to digest.
-
Don't forget RFC 1149 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1149.html). :-)

Saving them right now to my HD thanks all for the very cool links!
