This book is the end result of many years’ effort. It covers a lot of territory, starting with the big picture of the evolution of the Internet, through three generations:
- First generation: ARPANET, 1969–1982, 8-bit addresses, host-to-host protocol
- Second generation: IPv4 era, 1983–2028?, 32-bit addresses, followed by NAT (Network Address Translation) and RFC (Request for Comments) 1918 private addresses
- Third generation: IPv6 era, 2014 (start of major deployment) to perhaps 2100?, 128-bit addresses, many major improvements from what we learned from IPv4
