A very fun read, especially if (like me) you realized a year ago you had basically no idea how networking actually worked, because your whole mental model was based off of the Wikipedia article on the OSI model, and decided to cram all 180 pages of Michael W. Lucas's Networking for System Administrators into your head with Anki cards to finally make the "real" stuff stick. (Terrific book, terrific writer, I will never get tired of recommending this one in particular.)
