1. Introduction

This manual is intended for embedded systems engineers and support professionals who are not familiar with basic networking concepts. An overview of an Ethernet network and the TCP/IP suite of protocols used to communicate across the network will be given.

The implementation details that are discussed in this manual pertain to versions of Dynamic C prior to 7.05. Improvements and additions to the TCP/IP suite of protocols are fully documented in the Dynamic C TCP/IP User's Manual, Vols. 1 and 2.
