Finally, programmers that need to truly understand the TCP/IP protocol suite have a resource to turn to, TCP/IP Illustrated. Instead of merely describing the RFC's, bestselling author Rich Stevens takes an innovative "visual" approach which, combined with his writing style, results in an accessible "understandable" guide to TCP/IP.

First Sentence
"Effective communication depends on the use of a common language. This is true for humans and other animals as well as for computers. When a set of common behaviors is used with a common language, a protocol is being used."
