I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm affraid you won't get it.

[AndyBlair]

Thanks so much, this was like 2 weeks worth of lectures in 11 mins! Well done!

[LosEagle]

More videos man! You are one of the few networking tutors I can actually understand lol.

[sparksterTV]

Great video but I suggest watching it at 1.5 speed.

Thank you! My lecturer was trying to explain this and had the entire room up in arms, decided to listen to this instead!

[RedLoopster]

As everyone's saying, great video! Have an exam tomorrow, saved a lot of time by watching this, couldn't really understand it from only texts. So THANKS! :)

Watching this at work with sound down. I don't know how you sound, but subtitles pick up what you say very well, so thanks for speaking so clearly.

[scottalexanderwong]

Thank you so much for making these videos. Incredibly helpful. I bet there is a sizable boost in general productivity from exceedingly informitive videos like this

[UltimateBass]

thank you for explaining it so clearly! my lecturers could never get this through to me!

Dear Pieter, I did a test to work in the public sector and one of the questions was to describe how TCP / IP works, and certainly this video help me a lot with this question. Thank U.

[safweneful]

before you, it was so complicated.
you made it very simple, that shows how well you understand this stuff.

[anant]

Excellent video and explanation! @ 9:27 It's amusing how UDP still managed to send all the characters of each word in their correct order :-)

[matondocska]

Great work! Thank you very much. I was told about this topic for hours and hours at school, did not get it. Here you come and in 11 minutes I DO understand. Hats off, and keep the vids coming :)

[rayselM]

This is an amazing video. Very easy for a super novice like me to understand. I like the slow pace. It allows me to fully absorb the content.

[Oxserz]

Thank you very much for the video man! I realize the audio was slow but it gave me time to process and understand the details!

You do a great job at explanations with audio and the video components! Its amazin eh!

Cheers!

Love from Canada!

[kennethhowell]

Thank you! People like you, can actually explain what they are talking about, because they know what they are talking about.

[coolstorybro]

Very clear and precise. Good repetition of concepts when needed. Also a great line out of examples. Good job

[NetworkAdvisor]

Excellent refresher. Thanks for taking the time to make such quality, simple presentations..

[bibhakarsaha]

Almost all the comments here tell the same thing, Its an amazing video. I do want to point out the example that you mentioned for TCP and UDP, it just cleared the concept for me. Thanks.
