109.1 Fundamentals of internet protocols

Not written yet

This page is a placeholder. Nobody has written it yet, and it could be you. See the contributor guide to get started, and the style guide for how pages are written here.

Exam weight: 4. A heavy objective. Roughly four times the questions of a weight 1.

What this page needs

Write it from these two sources, and only these two:

  1. The matching page on linux1st.com, Jadi's free book. Follow its section order exactly.
  2. The matching section of the official LPI learning material for objectives v5.0.

Then follow the style guide. In short:

  • Plain English, short sentences. Many readers are not native speakers.
  • Include the real config samples and command output from the sources. Do not just describe them.
  • Add an ASCII diagram for anything long or hard to picture.
  • Explain hard options with a real world example, not just a definition.
  • End with a Summary written as prose, not a list.

When the page is done, change status: stub to status: written in the front matter at the top. The coverage table on the home page counts it automatically.

Scope

The key knowledge areas, and the list of files, terms and utilities for this objective, are on the LPI objectives page. Cover what LPI lists there. Nothing more is required.
