Ok, I am almost done with the first pass on the networking section.

I have been focusing mainly on:

- Splitting each section out into into its own include file in a
'networking' folder so they can be moved around and such easier.
- Removing the extra white space returns between the list characters and
the first line of the list item.
- Referencing the images locally in their include file rather than in the
'networking2.rst' file, so if we move the files around, their image
references still work.

I have not spent time on actually reworking the content yet because this
has been a lot of work.

I will have a pull request ready shortly.

Will

PS - Should I create an issue in Jira for this work and then associate the
pull request with that issue or should I just do the pull request and let
you know?
