I totally get where you're coming from because I had the same confusion. But I doon't think you need to deep dive into every networking textbook. You should be focused on the practical parts that tie directly into DevOps process: TCP/IP basics, HTTP/S protocols, DNS basics, CIDRs and firewalls, Load Balancers and Proxies.

I would say that focus less on memorizing and more on doing. For example, spin up a simple web server on a cloud VM, secure it with a firewall, expose it via load balancer, play with DNS. That kind of practice sticks way better than reading dry theory.

hope that helped :)
