Chapter 2. Understanding the Networking Concepts

Before we start coding a network application, it is better for us to understand how a network works. In this chapter, we will dig up network concepts with their contents. The topics that we'll cover in this chapter are as follows:

  • Distinguishing between the OSI model and the TCP/IP model

  • Exploring IP addresses in both IPv4 and IPv6

  • Troubleshooting TCP/IP problems using various tools
