This might sound like a dumb question, but can anyone out there
recommend a textbook/series of articles/etc that describe simply
just what tcp/ip is (other than the usual intro. "TCP/IP is a series
of protocols that the Department of Defense created ...")
Andrew Tanenbaum's "Computer Networks" barely references it, and
Mischa Schwartz's "Telecommunication Networks/ Protocols, Modeling and
Analysis" has maybe 5 pages on the subject.

Thanks in advance,
