| Nov 29, 2019 at 1:19 | comment | added | Alex | Just for clarification: I'm a teacher working on a TCP/IP lesson and wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking a canonical source for some sort of "TCP/IP 2.0" that I had missed since I finished my CCNA 5+ years ago. So this was a work question seeking a specific answer, not something to scratch my own itch, nor was I looking for speculation. :( I'm still a little confused about why this was shut down, but I appreciate the thoughts you're sharing here re: reasoning! Ultimately, my takeaway is that SuperUser's a better resource for immediate IT help than definitions or spec knowledge. | |

It also has to be something that the community can answer, it’s extremely difficult to speculate about the reasons something was done, in very rare cases past actions can sometimes explain it but not always. If asking about a technology that isn’t mainstream, the author must inform the community about it, otherwise the pool of users who can answer it is extremely small. | |
