Buy cheap&#x2F;used books :-)<p>1) <i>Internet System Handbook by Marshall Rose and Daniel Lynch</i> - Overview of The Internet from the 1990s. Very valuable to get the big picture.<p>2) <i>An Engineering Approach to Computer Networking: ATM Networks, the Internet, and the Telephone Network by S. Keshav</i> - Excellent textbook which covers three different types of Networks.<p>3) <i>The TCP&#x2F;IP Guide by Charles Kozierok.</i> - Reference: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tcpipguide.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tcpipguide.com&#x2F;</a> Start at &quot;Networking Fundamentals&quot; : <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tcpipguide.com&#x2F;free&#x2F;t_NetworkingFundamentals.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tcpipguide.com&#x2F;free&#x2F;t_NetworkingFundamentals.htm</a><p>4) <i>Mathematical Foundations of Computer Networking by S.

I would not consider myself a networking expert and I don&#x27;t know if there&#x27;s better sources out there, but NetworkChuck on YouTube has very informative and entertaining videos on what could be a very dry topic. At least for getting an overview of a topic, I find him to be a great source.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;channel&#x2F;UC9x0AN7BWHpCDHSm9NiJFJQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;channel&#x2F;UC9x0AN7BWHpCDHSm9NiJFJQ</a>

Not specifically what you are asking but I’ll add this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ipfs.io&#x2F;ipfs&#x2F;QmfYeDhGH9bZzihBUDEQbCbTc5k5FZKURMUoUvfmc27BwL&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ipfs.io&#x2F;ipfs&#x2F;QmfYeDhGH9bZzihBUDEQbCbTc5k5FZKURMUoUvf...</a><p>That book has done wonders for me.

Get one or two Raspberry Pis and start experimenting. I run an ethernet cable from my router to a $10 switch. The switch connects to a desktop server, some Pis and an external wifi point. I went from tinkering like this over the years to an Infratructure Team Lead.
