NetPractice

Okay - let's put the code aside for a second and get down to something mystical: networks.

  • How do two machines communicate with each other?

  • What is the Internet anyway?

  • You'll need to configure small networks. To do this, you'll need to understand how addressing works with the TCP/IP protocol. (You'll have 10 levels)

Here's an example:

The aim is to link all the machines in each level.

It sounds easy enough, but if you're not an expert, it can be hard to find the information you need.
