Hey there!

Posting this here as there is no "networking" section on this forum. Feel free to move me venam :)

I've found myself discussing the basics of networking with two different people on IRC via private message, both interrested in me sharing my experience with it. Not that I'm an expert in this field, but it's my job so I understand a few bits of it.
So it got me thinking, why not setting up a bunch of "networking courses" within the nixers community, to teach people how their computer manage to communicate with the outside world?
We would be covering the basics of the 4 first layers of the OSI model: what's a MAC address, an IP address, a netmask, how do they work together? What's a switch, a router, how do they know where to send packets? A lot of these questions seems quite easy, but I always encouter people having difficulties to answer them when you go into details.

Who would be interrested in attending such a course?

Also, if some gurus out there are willing to help me, it would be great to have multiple opinions/explanations about some topics (as I said, I'm far from knowing everything, and there are many things I don't understand well enough to teach).



EDIT: There will be 6 sessions. I'll update the planning in this post:

0. introduction: recorded on 2016-07-31
1. physical layer: recorded on 2016-08-11
2. data link layer: recorded on 2016-08-13
3. networking layer:
4. transport layer:
5. further informations:
