I was doing an e-mail analysis with a colleague and started explaining spoofing in its various forms. When we touched on IP addressing & subnetting he got a bit of a "glazed over" look.
I pulled out my IP guide from Chuck Semeria (1996, 3Com) that I have been using forever and had him read the first half or so so he could get a better grasp. He felt it is gave him a good introduction (it does deep as well).
I realized that this guide has always been a great help to me and thought it might help some others as well. wink The link as follows
Douglas,
thank you so much that was a great reference.

Take a look at this link
There are a lot of good basic network and network security articles. Some of the IP education stuff for beginners are listed in the middle in the "Foundations" series.
Thanks for that, explains some more advanced stuff than beginners' publications I've seen before )
LearnToSubnet.com contains just about everything you could ever want to know about the principles of IP addressing

Has the original Requests For Comments for pretty much everything in terms of protocols, IP addressing and subnets, amongst other things.
And there's also
Tannenbaum A.S., (2003), "Computer Networks, Fourth Edition", Prentice Hall PTR, NJ, US, ISBN 0-13-038488-7
and
Stevens R.W., (1994), "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 The Protocols", Addison Wesley Professional Computing Series, IN, US, ISBN 0-201-63346-9
which are the all-time classic books on the subject.
