Hi friends, As some of you may know, I occasionally teach networking to college students and I frequently encounter misconceptions about some aspect of networking that can take a fair amount of effort to correct. For instance, a topic that has come up on this list before is how the inappropriate use of classful terminology is rampant among students, books and often other teachers. Furthermore, the terminology isn't even always used correctly in the original context of classful addressing.
When I took an A level computing course in the 90s the course material still talked about primary stor and backing stor, batch jobs and the like... Needless to say I quit in disgust but the point is that the people who write these courses are often woefully out of touch. -- Leigh ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
