<P>The purpose of this document is to give an overview of the networking
|
|
capabilities of the Linux operating system. Although one of the strengths of
|
|
Linux is that plenty of information exists for nearly every component of it,
|
|
most of this information is focused on implementation. New Linux users,
|
|
particularly those coming from a Windows environment, are often unaware of the networking possibilities of Linux. This document aims to show a general picture of such possibilities with a brief description of each one and pointers for further information. The information has been gathered from many sources: HOWTOs, faqs, projects' web pages and my own hands-on experience. Full credit is given to the authors of these other sources. Without them and their programs this document would have not been possible or necessary.</P>
