The chapter has introduced the most common protocols you will encounter when examining traffic at the application layer. In the following chapters, we’ll examine new protocols and additional features of the protocols we’ve covered here, as we explore a wide range of real scenarios.
To learn more about individual protocols, read their associated RFC or have a look at The TCP/IP Guide by Charles Kozeriok (No Starch Press, 2005). Also, see the list of resources in the appendix.
