CiScO

Well. I never said anything in my live and work in the virtual world class when the Professor was talking about Cisco Networking but... *sighs* I ... have taken... Cisco. lol. I took it in my junior year of high school through running start, semesters one and two. Still have all my notes, still have the book! lol, and all my papers from the class. I did pretty well, if I do say so myself. I got A's in both semesters. BUT, I don't remember much about TCP/IP though that's all we studied in the first semester. I know that the TCP/IP protocol is incredibly more complex then what people might think. I remember that it has 7 layers which go, from the lowest to the highest layer, something like, physical, data, network, transport... and I know the last or top layer is application but it's a little fuzzy. But it has been 6 years since I've even thought about it. I remember that e-mail has its own acronym. SMTP. I think it stands for simple mail transfer protocol but I could be wrong, and I know it has its own port. I know that the packets sent from computer and recieved by computers is also more complex then it sounds. I vaguely remember talks of time delays, sliding windows, MAC addresses, etc but I know there was a LOT more. I'm wondering if I should blow the dust off my notes and try to make sense of it?
