Hi all,

I am looking for recommendations on resources to learn Linux networking. I am primarily hoping for text resources such as books, guides, blog series, articles, etc. I have trouble focusing on videos.

I am mainly targeting linux networking topics, such as how the linux networking stack works, and things like iptables, network namespaces, network interfaces, sockets, NAT, firewalls, internal IP-addressing, subnetting, routing, proxying, internal DNS, and anything that I may not know exists but is related to these concepts and linux networking in general.

Any recommendations?

    For reference purposes, the manpages. For a more conversational, ‘guide for the perplexed’-type book, though, I’d wholeheartedly recommend Michael W. Lucas’s ‘Networking for sysadmins’ book: https://mwl.io/nonfiction/networking#n4sa – this one helped me understand many of the fundamental concepts.
