The "Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition"[1] has some chapters about IP, TCP, UDP and DNS. If you can read Italian, there's also "a2 - appunti di informatica libera"[2][3]. I've never been interested in the specific subject, so I don't know about better sources. I'd probably start from Wikipedia :) [1] http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz [2] http://appuntilinux.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/appuntilinux/a2/ [3] http://a2.pluto.it/a2/ -- Emanuele Rusconi
