if you're in trouble already, no book will help you... :D

wireshark, ifconfig, route, ping, netstat, etc are your REAL friends on Linux! :)

Yeah this is what I'm saying. Like problem sets which involves using those tools to solve.

The environment would have to be interactive though. Not a written problem set but some network of containers that exhibits the problem. That's how one gets the experience.

Think: leetcode for networking. I would pay for that.

mininet [1] can be used to emulate networks on a single computer. It is used to teach networking concepts.
