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
