In the fall of 1998 I joined the AFCERT. I became acquainted with the amazing book TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols by W. Richard Stevens. About a year later I exchanged emails with Mr. Stevens. Here is the last exchange, as forwarded from my AFCERT email address to my home email.From “Capt Richard Bejtlich – Real Time Chief” Mon Sep 6 18:27:35 1999X-Mozilla-Keys: Received: from kinda.csap.af.mil (kinda.csap.af.mil [192.203.2.250]) by mw4.texas.net (2.4/2.4) with SMTP id RAA22116 for <bejtlich@texas.net>; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 17:27:38 -0500 (CDT)Received: by kinda.csap.af.mil (Smail3.1.29.1 #7) id m11O7Ee-000NcwC; Mon, 6 Sep 99 17:27 CDTReceived: from walt.ip.af.mil(192.168.1.142) by kinda via smap (V1.3) id sma014865; Mon Sep 6 17:27:36 1999Received: from kinda.csap.af.mil by walt.ip.af.mil with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #6) id m11O7Ed-000VruC; Mon, 6 Sep 99 22:27 GMTSender: bejtlichMessage-ID: <37D43FD7.52CC675A@kinda.csap.af.mil>Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 22:27:35 +0000From: Capt Richard Bejtlich – Real Time Chief <richard.bejtlich@kinda.csap.af.mil>Organization: AFCERTX-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.6 sun4u)X-Accept-Language: enMIME-Version: 1.0To: bejtlich@texas.netSubject: [Fwd: Re: TCP/IP Illustrated Vol I 2nd ed?]Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitContent-Type: text/plain; charset=us-asciiX-UIDL: 7b89a44b661b28334c3553b3b92998bd——– Original Message ——–From: rstevens@kohala.com (W.

I am hesitant to start on TCP Vol. 1too soon, given the “uncertain” status of IPv6 at the present. I keephoping things will settle down with IPv6 and vendors will start shippingreal implementations.
