Subject: Knowledge of Protocols
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2015 17:56:15 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <277293065.1356584.1436464575919.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi,
I have just finished C & linux application programming with a tinge of socket programming.
I would like to know what do statements like the following mean
   
   - ?"Have knowledge of Protocols such as TCP/IP, IPSec, IPV6 or SSL"   


Does it mean to have a theoretical view of the facets which constitute the protocol which can be done by reading RFC ?or does it also mean to have implementation knowledge (code understanding) as well. I am not very clear about this statement which is generally used quite often.
Secondly, it the latter understanding is correct (Theory - RFC + Implementation - Code) then where to look for the code which deals with a particular protocol ?
Thanks !
