Data packet breakdown
|

| On working through the MS press book for this exam, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of detail given about what each data packet consists of. In the sections for TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP and WINS they give a breakdown of all of their packets, i.e. what each bit does etc. I fail to see what use this could ever be to me in Administering the 2000 network.
Is it really important to look at this in this much depth, or is this my MCSE fatigue starting to show?  | |

| It is good information to know, but I would not expect to see a bunch of questions on the exam regarding this. Even in CCNA where various protocol headers, packets and trailers are discussed, very little of this was on the exam I took. Still it is good to understand the basics: OSI Model, segments, packets, frames, header, body, trailer, etc. The times you need to know this much is when something is wrong or security is questioned. | |

I agree with Jeff, that's not the MS type of quesions, even it's a good information to know that, but in the exam you will not going deep in the packet bits. |
