[AusNOG] IPv4 - Where is the training?

[Mark Andrews]

The best training is by doing.  Find a couple of old machines.  Put
two interfaces into one of them and make it a router.  Get a tunnel
from tunnelbroker.net (he.net) and follow the instructions for
setting up the tunnel for the OS running on the router.

Next connect up the other boxes on your test network and play.

Do the same at home.
