From Internetworkpro

If you wish to contribute to the articles found here at InternetworkPro first of all we would like to thank you for helping making this site better. With your help we can make this one of the best network reference sites.

We ask that you follow some simple guidelines to help maintain the unity of the site and provide the best possible content.

Contents 1 Content 2 Templates 2.1 Unsupported 2.2 Architectural 2.3 In Progress 2.4 Roadmap 2.5 Configuration 2.6 Dynamips 3 CSS 4 Additions

[edit] Content

We ask that all content is original work. Please do not copy and paste an article off of Wikipedia or any other site including Cisco.com.

We want to provide more in depth and more technical articles that touch on subjects not found elsewhere. Although in the topic of networking we know this is impossible try to find something to add over other sources. Sample con figs, packet dumps of protocols, and otherwise not found information are good ways to differentiate us from the others.

Also original content like our Tutorials section or Scripts help out a lot.

Most of all have fun writing the content for this site. Your enjoyment will show in your work!
