I wish you luck on your course, these links will help; they have general
information about networking and there's a lot of information about networks
on the web but these pages I find are very good at explaining the concepts.
Websites
http://www.decodes.com/protocol/protocol.htm you will find a lot of
information for protocols; it has a great selection of links, forums, etc.;
very informative
http://standards.ieee.org/ enough said

http://www.iol.unh.edu/training/index.html A large collection of
communication tutorials may be found at IOL's training page, which has links to
materials on TCP/IP, LAN technologies, programming & administrations manuals,
and more.
