Resources for learning Linux Networking (iptables, namespaces, firewall, NAT, interfaces...)? preferably text resources (books, articles, etc) - eviltoast

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?

    True; but many guides & tutorials that came out long after that still give their examples/instructions in iptables. Esp. those that involve ifup/ifdown/etc. scripts.

    (although nftables is considerably easier to read, IMHO)
