Overview
- The text makes a complex subject more approachable, and can work as a companion to a laboratory project on building a fully functional Internet using inexpensive Raspberry Pis
- This hands-on approach is beneficial to students who prefer a more experiential learning style
- Can be used to build an Internet of Linux boxes, for those with access to a number of “white box” computers running Linux
- An Instructor's Manual and Solutions Manual are available to instructors, as well as software and configuration files in order to set up the hands-on project

About this book
Each chapter consists of background information on a specific topic or Internet service, and where appropriate a final section on how to configure a Raspberry Pi to provide that service.
While mainly meant as an undergraduate textbook for a course on networking or Internet protocols and services, it can also be used by anyone interested in the Internet as a step–by–step guide to building one's own Intranet, or as a reference guide as to how things work on the global Internet
