What's up, software.
I read tanenbaum on networks, watched courses from Stanford, and all sorts of pretentious videos on youtube about networks and protocols, but I never learned it (there is no practice).
Can you suggest the best way to study networks in general?
In principle, I am familiar with the OSI model, I know the difference between protocols, and in general how the Internet works, but I need something more practical, for example, to know how and where to use these protocols, how to write network applications in general, at least the most primitive ones.
I don’t even have a clue how a chat that works perfectly on my local server can be deployed on the global network.

Read a book on CCNA...
Here are some good tutorials on GNS and Cisco Packet Tracer:

The TCP/IP network should be studied from books by R. Stevens, starting with:
Or new edition:
TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols, 2nd Edition
W. Richard Stevens, Kevin R. Fall

1. Forget about the OSI model: the real TCP/IP network does not fit into the OSI model ... more precisely, the OSI model does not correspond to the real TCP/IP network.
2. Learn the network only in Linux, forget about Windows like a bad dream!
3. Install VirtualBox + create virtual machines and build a network from them (as advised here).
4. Network programming in Linux .

Everything about everything will take about two weeks to study. In a month I advise you to re-read everything again.
You may not be grateful.

Already answered a similar question. But I can add something.
Rent a VPS for 5-10 dollars, or for free (amazon). Install any TCP service on it, a web server, for example, or echo. Connect to the service using netcat. Try to interact with service (send characters via nc). Record the interaction traffic on the server and on the client, study the differences, and they will be, in the case of using NAT. Examine the output of traceroute 'ip address of your server'. Assign an AS number to each hop. For each AS, check the routes to your server and to your home provider through looking glass. Build an AS link graph (bgp.he.net for help).
In the process, you will have many specific questions that will give you direction for further research.

I think you don’t even need to buy anything here, download images of any linux systems or freebsd, set up virtual machines, set up their interaction with each other and have fun as you like, to reduce the load on your computer. you can learn Vagrant to work with systems only through the terminal.

Learn radio engineering
then the OSI model
then the ieee and rfc
standards the OSI model is an interoperability standard an example different people create network equipment that never intersect so that their equipment is compatible with each other and come up with standards these standards are being developed at the IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers an international non-profit association of specialists in field of technology, a world leader in the development of standards for radio electronics and RFC
standards a document from a series of numbered Internet white papers containing technical specifications and standards that are widely used . www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1GGtXce-QQ
