+Many of us have probably heard of an IP address, but how does it actually work?
+I'm going to try to give a high level overview to technical networking concepts.
+
+Throughout this post I'm going to keep referring back to a train station
+analogy. We'll start off with a small network and build up into something that
+scales into the internet we have today.
+
+## The simplest network
+
+First, the analogy isn't very far off. Just as there's multiple tracks
+leading away from a train station, a computer has multiple ports to communicate
+with other computers, and we typically call these **interfaces**. For example, a
+laptop may have a Wi-Fi _interface_ and an Ethernet _interface_, while a cell
+phone may have a cellular _interface_ as well. Server computers could have any
+number of interfaces.
+
+You could imagine a simple network between 3 computers like this:
