Linux NET-3-HOWTO, Linux Networking.: Introduction. 2. Introduction.The original NET-FAQ was written by Matt Welsh and Terry Dawson to answer frequently asked questions about networking for Linux at a time before the Linux Documentation Project had formally started. It covered the very early development versions of the Linux Networking Kernel. The NET-2-HOWTO superceded the NET-FAQ and was one of the original LDP HOWTO documents, it covered what was called version 2 and later version 3 of the Linux kernel Networking software. This document in turn supercedes it and relates only to version 3 of the Linux Networking Kernel.Previous versions of this document became quite large because of the enormous amount of material that fell within its scope. To help reduce this problem a number of HOWTO's dealing with specific networking topics have been produced. This document will provide pointers to them where relevant and cover those areas not yet covered by other documents.In April 1998 Terry left as NET-3 maintainer, due to his high load. Alessandro Rubini is the new maintainer and would like to keep the document as good as before, although he's new in this kind of stuff. 2.1 FeedbackI always appreciate feedback and especially value contributions.
