This is the first release since LinuxPorts has become the author of this document. First let me say that we hopethat over the next few months you will find this document to be of use and that we are able to provide accurateand timely information in regards to networking issues with Linux. This document like the other howto's that we manage is going to become very different, this document willshortly become the Networking−HOWTO not just the Net−3(4) Howto. We will cover such items as PPP,VPN, and others... The original NET−FAQ was written by Matt Welsh and Terry Dawson to answer frequently asked questionsabout networking for Linux at a time before the Linux Documentation Project had formally started. It coveredthe very early development versions of the Linux Networking Kernel. The NET−2−HOWTO superceded theNET−FAQ and was one of the original LDP HOWTO documents, it covered what was called version 2 andlater version 3 of the Linux kernel Networking software. This document in turn supercedes it and relates onlyto version 4 of the Linux Networking Kernel or more specifically kernel releases 2.x and 2.2.x. Previous versions of this document became quite large because of the enormous amount of material that fellwithin its scope. To help reduce this problem a number of HOWTO's dealing with specific networking topicshave been produced. This document will provide pointers to them where relevant and cover those areas notyet covered by other documents.
