I've got an end of term test on Thursday and I've missed most of the lectures. Could anyone recommend any (preferably fun) resources for learning, in particular 1. Introduction 2. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) 3. Internet Protocol (IP) 4. Internet Forwarding 5. Internet Routing 6. Reliable Transport 7. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) 8. TCP Continued 9. Domain Name Service (DNS) 10. IPv6 11. Advanced Routing 12. Applications 13-18. Link Layer
That looks really vague... To learn these "properly" I'd say read the RFCs, but obviously that isn't a good solution to your problem. Check if you can find the lectures online and read Wikipedia. The latter should be more or less enough if it's around the same level of what I expect from a basic introductory course, obviously the lecture notes are better.
The lecture slides are soooooooo boring. Trying to find an alternative to 'em, but cheers for the motivation I guess.
