2.	Addressing and routing
2.1.	The problem
2.2.	Details about IP addresses: subnets and broadcasting
2.3.	Details about routing and addressing
2.4.	Should address space be subdivided?
2.5.	Subnets vs. multiple network numbers: network mask - More about subnets
2.6.	Dealing with multiple virtual subnets on one network - Turning off subnetting - Multiple subnets: implications for broadcasting
2.7.	Choosing an address class
2.8.	Dialup IP and dynamically assigned addresses
2.9.	Network-wide services: naming
2.10.	Setting up routing for an individual computer
2.11.	How datagrams are routed - Fixed routes - Routing redirects - Other ways for hosts to find routes - Dynamic routing: Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
