Genuine related question - what is learning TCP/IP good for? When is it useful to know?

1. When you need to communicate across the network and don't have a library to do it for you.

2. Troubleshooting

3. Insights. Knowing how things work can sometimes give you big insights into potential solutions or pitfalls to avoid
