Julia Evans guide is a great companion: https://wizardzines.com/zines/networking/

Very different format!

Love this guide. It's what got me started with network programming.

Same. It is my single favorite piece of programming literature that exists, and I'm an avid reader!

If anyone cares, 'Code' is a close second. Different styles and uses, I'm just judging on utility to me.

If I want to implement some rudimentary communications protocol between two machines in Rust, just for learning, is this where I should begin?

Edit: perhaps not quite. Seems like this lives “on top of” TCP or UDP. I should probably read through this then look for something like a “how to implement ICMP” guide.

Or maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP_Illustrated if you need to get down to the packet level.

This seems close to what you're asking for: https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp

A small-ish tcp/ip stack, in rust, that can use TAP so you're down in the weeds making the packets.
