I took a networking course in college and I didn't learn much, if anything. We used textbooks like Kurose and Ross that went deep into details like the header format of each packet of each layer. Ultimately, these were useless details that had no place in a textbook. It made me hate the subject. I eventually learned the subject properly through High Performance Browser Networking.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
>"They allow systems with slightly different clock rates to adjust." Adjust to what? Ethernet is not synchronous its asynchronous. There is no shared clock. The interframe gap goes back to the days of CSMA/CD. The interframe gap was the period during which end stations would contend for the shared medium. Without this an end station could continuously stream and monopolize the network.
No, that was the preamble.

#38> An interpacket gap of 96 bits (12 bytes) where the line is left idle. Presumably, this is to let the devices rest because they are tired.

I'd largely echo your sentiment, but luckily our professor had a hands-on attitude. This involved actually coding things that used those concepts. We had to implement a non-recursive DNS resolver and a FTP server. Reading the RFCs and chewing out something that worked (mostly) was real fun.

Can anyone recommend an excellent resource on how IPTABLES work? One with diagrams and real world examples?
