I haven't seen your book, but in my experience any clutter and confusion
is entirely in people's heads and can be dispelled quite easily.

It's not at all hard. You just need to understand how computer thinks
in bits and then it all becomes very obvious. Trust me, I've had
experience of this and I can explain it to most people in about 5
minutes.

I still remember the day that I "got" subnetting :-) "Teach Yourself
TCP/IP In 24 Hours" by SAMS Publishing was what did it for me, lo these
many moons ago :-)

Yup. And the first step is: "forget classes". It's depressing to see
how many schools still teach the old, obsolete classful IP addressing
scheme and then try to add subnetting on top of that, when starting
directly with CIDR would be so much easier to grasp for the students.

Yep. Mind you the OP's advert doesn't mention classes so perhaps the
message is getting through. Anyone want to spend $38 to find out? :-)

These are the same classes that still insist on teaching OSI!
