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!
Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

Telnet Protocol
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), Telnets protocol commands, and
how interrupts are handled using Telnets special synch function.
I conclude with a detailed look at Telnets options and how they
are negotiated.
