From reading the article, it seems to just mean explaining the entire network stack all the way down to the way ethernet cables physically transfer network information. Putting a short explainer at the very top may help with motivating the reader (and helping them understand whether or not the article would be worth reading) * Each of the links should probably have their own slight preface, explaining what you will learn by following the link. The Odin Project does this, and I think that's generally a good pedagogical approach (before you learn, you are given context about what you are going to learn) * Holistic learning should probably include video and articles, so I'd recommend having both types whenever possible for each topic. I can certainly help with this! -* Starting at the "Taking the Real Plunge" section, I started feeling more lost. I think this may have been intentional since it starts branching off, but it seems like there is a through-line between almost everything listed. Like at some point, information travels through the ethernet cable, and everything listed here is used in some specific order. Is there a higher level article we can find that covers exactly how all of that information is passed along from protocol to protocol? I think even just a simple image (that still manages to cover basically everything in this article) would help a lot here! I think "The Recipe" thing at the top is kinda close to what I'm after, but it's not detailed enough in terms of the linear procedure. I could even make a graphic potentially (it wouldn't be super beautiful, but it would get the job done), if we can put it into text at a very high level first +* Starting at the "Taking the Real Plunge" section, I started feeling more lost.

I also wonder if we should recommend the reader just watch the entire Ben Eater Networking tutorial in order at some point, since it might help a good bit with having a holistic understanding of these things * Overall, I think this is great work so far! I definitely learned a good bit about how the internet works, and I have to admit, there are several things about this that piqued my interest! I think you did a really good job with picking out articles. They all seemed high quality to me with great information and pedagogical approaches to the way the information was presented My attempt to understand:
