Abstract:
 There's major trend in the industry to move towards single protocol

 using a single protocol network over multi-protocol networks include
 reduced complexity, equipment costs, and  support costs, just to name

 what, and the hows of  using TCP/IP as the primary network protocol.

Topics:
  Why a single protocol
  Why TCP/IP
  Industry Best Practices
  Reserved Addresses (RFC 1918)
  Network Address Translation (RFC 1631)
  Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
  Systems and Workstations
  Internet Access
