Follow the Packet

What is a packet, and why would we want to follow one?  

Packets are the medium through which data is exchanged over the internet end to end. If you can follow a packet from source to destination, you can gain an understanding of the various enabling technologies which power the Internet. 

The purpose of this blog is two-fold, to provide a condensed source of information to aid in passing Cisco certifications exams, and to give would-be engineers an understanding of networking.  In order to accomplish this, I will start with the the entry-level Cisco certification CCENT, which is also half the requirement to achieve CCNA.

There is a lot of very good information out there already.  My goal is not to reinvent the wheel, it is simply to aggregate the best sources of information, and fill in any blanks.  I encourage you to make comments and ask questions.  If you find a better source of information, please add it.
