Network Reading List for the Linux & Unix System Administrator

Even if you work in a shop that has a dedicated network group that takes care of the network infrastructure, you will still need to understand a lot of how networks functions. Do not expect your local network administrator to have a lot of understanding of what goes on inside the machines you are responsible for. You also need to be able to do basic network trouble-shooting, so you only ask the networking group for help when the problem is really in their court.

Happy Reading
