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?

  • I’m normally someone who’ll dig into the weeds on something, but for some reason Linux networking just switches my brain off after about 5 minutes. Something engaging or practical here would be a godsend. Network chuck is someone I’ve tangentially brushed against, but he seems like he could get the concepts across, is there a series of his that will kind of get me going?
