Wondering what this audio course covers? Then take a look on this page.
The audio presentation is divided up into 15 CDs. Each CD is divided into a number of tracks, each about seven to ten minutes long. We've cross-indexed the tracks and subject description to the slide numbers printed in the Audio Companion. So, for example, if you wanted to re-visit the subject of IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration, then you'd listen to track 6 on CD disc number7. The accompanying relevant PowerPoint slides in the Audio Companion would start at slide number 211.
This table of contents also appears in the front of the Audio Companion that you receive with the CD package.
