You can find out a lot about your network by using a variety of different tools. Understanding the layout of your network, and where packets are going, and what people are doing is important. This tutorial examines techniques for monitoring the traffic and content of your UNIX network and how to read and diagnose problems on your network.

The article is about Unix networking in general, not Linux networking. ifconfig is in no way unmaintained and deprecated on non-Linux *nix platforms.

The article is clearly split into sections that are Linux specific and implementations on other systems such as Mac OS and Solaris. I did think people might be wise enough to figure all that out, but obviously not.
