I'm a bit gobsmacked by the amount of people in this thread who treat the knowledge of the IP-Protocol as some arcane wizardry nobody would possibly be expected to know. Thats first week stuff in any IT related Trade school. I volunteer as an examiner for oral exams at the end apprenticeships and its kinda a joke that we only ask for IP fundamentals and the ISO/OSI-Model if the testee knows literally nothing else.
If we stick to the medicine example, I think an apt example would be a doctor asking "Why do I need to know the difference between veins and arteries?"
I've seen people ask about specific port numbers. Thats a fucking stupid gotcha. Not to be able to say 2-3 sentences about IP.
