Can someone please translate this into some form of english?


How the hell is this supposed to be entry level?

It's computer networking talk describing a particular model. There are online resources out there that explain stuff better than this textbook.

THIS.
There is not only a technical vocabulary but a jargon.

@ElRengo Learners can't absorb content like this from traditional textbooks anymore.

@IamCuriousBabe thank you! This is literally my third week on an introduction course and the a hold professor expects us to understand numerous textbooks and jargon instantly!

@IamCuriousBabe
True.
Periods in which knowledge grows fast (not only the tech one) look like this we are living.
It´s hard to get an unified conceptual view.
And when someones pretend to "understand" with mid level texts / resources they ussually mess with it.
Some branches of (let´s say) meta knowledge MAY help, like the more recent advances in Theory of Information.
But it requires some serious effort beyond the "do it yourself".

@ElRengo I had a tutor help on a project and even they couldn’t really explain much of it. It’s so complex and interlinked now that it gets jumbled.

A significative part of that complexity is no doubt real.
But the abundance of somehow informal expressions turned in tech keywords (i.e. "handshake") makes it a bit obscure in a way that not always is IMO a need.
No promisse but I´ll look for some papers / class notes made by colleagues and perhaps they may help.
IF I find them (again not sure of it) I´ll post the links here.
