Low-Level Protocols

I keep meaning to learn a bit more about the TCP/IP protocol stack; specifically, all the bits that are off to the side from TCP itself, but which are still essential to the internet. For now, this is just a list of protocols, as an aide-memoire.

• ICMP
• ARP/RARP - a very silly protocol
• DNS
• RIP
• OSPF
• BGP
• DHCP
• BootP
• TFTP
• Special mention: PPP LCP

There are plenty more.

Read this and this.

Moreover, this and this.
