We should probably introduce:

DNS
IP addresses
TCP / UDP, trade-offs between, shape of a TCP handshake
HTTP
The idea these packets are encapsulated in each other
Why DNS is (typically) over UDP
Importance/Difficulties in reducing round-trips (e.g. a simplified evolution from HTTP1-over-TCP to QUIC)

In particular, we should do this before we have people think about load balanceres.
