The Internet Protocol | Networking tutorial (8 of 13)

An introduction to IP, IP addressing, prefixes, routing, and forwarding

I have no idea how long it took you to learn all this stuff, nor how long you used this knowledge before you knew EXACTLY how to present it in a manner that was this easily digestible to people starting from near zero, but I cannot thank you enough for creating this series. This has been two of the most valuable hours of my life.

Thank you so much for teaching things from the bottom up. A lot of textbooks insist on forcing you to memorize vague concepts and slowly describe things in more detail, but when you actually understand what's going on underneath, it's so much easier to remember everything. Plus, it's more interesting than memorizing how a bunch of black boxes interact.

I was really impressed with how instantly you converted decimal to binary - from the look of it you did it all in your head

Holy moley. I know it's almost 4 years later...but these videos are unbelievably good.

Trust me I've watched a LOT of networking videos, Eli the Computer Guy...etc etc. They are good, but these are infinitely better. I can only imagine you are or have been a qualified teacher at some point in your life. We need more teachers like you out there.

Thank you so much

Cannot begin to describe how well explained this all is. Every other resource seems to complicate things so so much and you manage to simply it flawlessly!

Im really enjoying your electronics and networking series Ben.  You're very clear and focused.  I would LOVE a video that combined the two, i.e. taking a look inside a router or NIC and saying which networking processes are happening at each section of electronic components.

Huge thank you. I almost cried of happiness from your explanation. Let me go see the next one now to cry like a baby at the end.

Sir, this is most amazing series. I have seen many but this is true gem. Earlier I used to think that when router to router communication is there packets are transferred and when switch to switch communication is there, frames are transferred. This is clarified such a great extent. Thank you so much sir.

Magnum Opus. I watch your series about 8-bit breadboard cpu and it was crystal clear. Your teaching is brilliant. Thank you for this videos !

I've been carrying this question of why an IP address is actually required when you have the ether since quite a while, and this has been the best it could have been answered

[lostinthefogofwar]

In 1 morning you've taught me about computers than I learned from 25 years of using one.

[lumppugootti]

My mind is absolutely blown about the greatness of this tutorial series

Ben, I don't know how to express my appreciation. is a simple "thank you" enough ? If so, thank you Ben!!!
