[CLUE-Tech] October talk.

[Keith Hellman]

Dave:

I'm not suggesting a particular subject, simply my impression of others'
posts.  Perhaps a natural organization for your two talks would be:

FIRST
Everything that can be done on a non-routable LAN, ie:  ipconfig, dhcp
client, name resolution, ping, arp tables, the 4 (I think there is four)
strictly non-routable IP blocks (10, 172, 193, 169.254), point-to-point
configuration via ppp (over serial cable), rarp, bootp, the difference
between switches and hubs - all this is actually a alot of stuff!  Perhaps
finish the discussion with a quicky introduction to route for the
impatient.

SECOND
Continue with all subjects specifically about cross router communication,
such as:  how layer 3 routing works, linux routers, ip forwarding/ip
masquarading, nat, firewalls, relay agents, traceroute, ...

I'm surprised that I didn't see any questions about services, how to
configure them, and TCP vs UDP explanations.  This, and the basics of
network programming or killer network utils (nmap, netcat, traceroute,
satan, ssh) could easily be a third talk.  I'm not hinting, just thinking
aloud :^)

Just my 2c.
