Back in late October i had begun reading through the book "TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 1: The Protocols"
It's basically the encyclopedia and history book of computer networking, and it's a pretty daunting read, but still i find it super fascinating!

the book begins describing about how the very concept of networking is related to telephony and how that works (calls are established by completing physical circuits) and describing how networking essentially functions in the same way, but virtually, meaning, a circuit is closed over a physical connection, but it is abstracted. It can be kind of tough to explain and it took me a bit to grasp it, but i found it very valuable to know this about how networking functions :3

donkey nerds out about networking stuff while reading hawww
