[CLUE-Tech] October talk.

[David Anselmi]

I've (finally) updated the web site for the October meeting.  I'll be 
talking about TCP/IP, and maybe doing a follow-up talk in November.  I 
want to teach people how networking works so they don't feel like 
networking problems are something mysterious.

At this point, I'm thinking I'll talk about how the various packets 
(TCP, IP, ethernet) are put together, what that means to you, and what 
commands are used to configure things.  A follow-up talk might cover 
application level protocols and troubleshooting.

This is your chance to tell me what you'd like to hear.  I'm planning to 
organize things around the protocol layers.  Maybe a step by step 
configuration talk would be a good thing to do at an installfest.

For you networking gurus, what can I cover that would make this 
interesting for you?

I don't plan to talk much about PPP, since the TCP part of that just 
works.  Is that something everyone wants to hear about?

How do you feel about doing two meetings in a row on the same subject?

I'm open to suggestions.  Speak up or you'll be stuck with whatever I 
come up with.
