Ummm ... 'inet' means internet and 'implan' mean Local Area Network.

I though this was intuitive and explains itself, there is only two after
all.

Well first up I want to learn how to route from one interface to
another. I don't know if this is the best way, I'm reading up by myself
and making an effort to try figure it out.

I want to split up my machines and networks, enable bandwith controls,
control access to resources add securtiy etc etc etc .....
