Summary

This book is the Chinese translation of the 6th edition of Sams Teach Yourself TCP/IP in 24 Hours, offering readers with no background a systematic introduction to the TCP/IP protocol suite—the original English title says it all: it is meant to get readers started on TCP/IP within a pace of 24 lessons. The book consists of six parts and 24 chapters. Part One introduces basic concepts of networks and protocols, the origins and characteristics of TCP/IP, and the relevant standards bodies and RFCs. Part Two walks through the layers of the protocol stack—network access layer, internet layer, transport layer, and application layer—covering IP addressing and subnetting, ARP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP. Part Three discusses TCP/IP networking, including routing, gateways and network hardware, dial-up and broadband access, wireless networks, and firewalls. Part Four introduces tools and services such as DHCP, DNS, and NAT, along with configuration management methods. Part Five focuses on Internet-related topics such as the Web, email, streaming media, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and mobile networks. Part Six discusses management and troubleshooting in real operating environments, including security and privacy, web tracking, encryption and digital signatures, and VPNs. Each chapter includes a summary, Q&A, quiz questions, and a key-terms glossary, making it easy to learn and practice as you go; by the end, readers can understand how networks work and have basic network configuration and troubleshooting skills.

Editor's review

TCP/IP的入门书很多，但能把“概念讲清楚”和“学完能上手”同时做到的并不多。这本书最大的特点是结构清楚：以协议栈的分层作为主轴，从物理网络、IP编址、TCP/UDP一路讲到DNS、DHCP、Web、邮件和安全，读者不会陷在零散的知识点里。它原本是按课时设计的教程，一章一主题，每章结尾有小结、问与答、测验和关键术语，很适合自学打卡或作为培训班的授课材料；内容偏重原理与概念，公式和推导很少。第6版还补充了IPv6、云计算、物联网、移动网络以及跟踪与隐私等较新的话题，旧版中已经过时的部分也得到了更新。需要提醒的是：它帮你建立整体框架和直觉，但不会带你逐个抓包分析报文，也不涉及编程实现，想进一步深入就得转向《TCP/IP详解》这类书。对于第一次系统学习网络的人来说，这是一本性价比很高的入门阶梯。

Reading tips

  1. 按章节顺序阅读，先读完第1、2部分建立协议栈的整体框架，再进入后面的专题。
  2. 每章的测验题和关键术语建议认真做完，这是检验是否真正理解概念的最简便方式。
  3. 读到子网划分、路由等章节时，在电脑上实际用命令行查看IP配置和路由表，印证书中的概念。
  4. 学完后以《TCP/IP详解》或Wireshark抓包实践作为下一阶段，把原理与真实报文对应起来。

FAQ

这本书需要什么基础才能读懂？ 基本不需要专业基础。书中从“什么是网络和协议”讲起，只需具备计算机日常使用经验即可；如果对二进制换算稍有了解，学习子网划分部分会更轻松。
这本书和《TCP/IP详解》有什么区别？ 本书是教学型入门读物，按24个课时设计，侧重概念框架与配置管理，通俗易读；《TCP/IP详解》是权威的协议参考书，逐协议深入解析报文与实现，深度大但门槛高。一般建议先读本书再读《详解》。
第6版相比旧版更新了哪些内容？ 第6版在原有协议体系基础上补充了IPv6与IPv4的共存和迁移、云计算、物联网、移动网络，以及Web跟踪、cookie、加密与隐私等较新话题，并更新了过时内容。
这本书适合作为教材或培训用书吗？ 适合。全书按课时组织，每章有小结、问与答、测验题与关键术语表，便于布置作业和安排进度，国内多所院校曾选作网络课程参考书。

About the author

Joe Casad Author

Joe Casad is an author of computer technology books. Chinese-language readers have relatively limited access to information about his personal background, as publicly available materials are scarce, and no clear record of his nationality, dates of birth and death, or educational history has been found. The library currently holds one work by him, TCP/IP Primer Plus. Judging from the title and its common classification, the book is aimed at foundational study of computer network protocols and belongs to the computer and general computing category. Its writing emphasizes explaining concepts and guiding beginners rather than delving into advanced theoretical derivation. For readers who wish to gain a systematic understanding of the TCP/IP protocol framework, this type of introductory classic offers a relatively clear starting point. Because other works and biographical information about the author remain insufficient, this introduction is based only on the work held in the library, and further details await additional sources.
