Please Whitelist This Site?I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)
If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.
If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.
Thanks for your understanding!

In the very earliest days of internetworking, one of the most important problems that computer scientists needed to solve was how to allow someone operating one computer to access and use another as if he or she were connected to it locally. The protocol created to meet this need was called Telnet, and the effort to develop it was tied closely to that of the Internet and TCP/IP as a whole. Even though most Internet users today never invoke the Telnet protocol directly, they use some of its underlying principles indirectly all the time. Every time you send a piece of e-mail, use FTP to transfer a file, or load a Web page, you are using technology based on Telnet. For this reason, the Telnet protocol can made a valid claim to the title of the most historically important application protocol in TCP/IP.
In this section, I describe the operation of the Telnet protocol. I begin with an overview and history of the protocol and a discussion of the standards that define it. I describe the general operation of Telnet clients and servers and how connections are made and maintained. I then explain the important concept of the Network Virtual Terminal (NVT), Telnet’s protocol commands, and how interrupts are handled using Telnet’s special synch function. I conclude with a detailed look at Telnet’s options and how they are negotiated.
