A.1 Introduction
This appendix is an overview of IPv4, IPv6,
ICMPv4, and ICMPv6. This material provides additional background
that may be helpful in understanding the discussion of TCP and UDP
in Chapter
2. Some features of IP and ICMP are also used in some of the
later chapters: IP options (Chapter 27), along with the
ping and traceroute programs (Chapter 28), for example.
