However, with a few basic concepts and commands under your belt, you can gain significant control over how data moves through your network. This guide will provide you with a foundational understanding of IP routing and traffic control on Linux systems, along with installation instructions for essential tools using different package managers like apt (for Debian/Ubuntu), dnf (for Fedora), and zypper (for openSUSE).
