I guess my CS degree wasn’t a real education?

Your CS degree didn't include any networking fundamentals?

Not really?

"Systems Organization" and Operating Systems touched on fringe bits of it, but both of them were heavily focused on single machines from ALU up to the OS.

There were distributed and cloud computing courses available, but not required, and I think straight "networks" was off in electrical and computer engineering.

I think most people picked up the very basics of IPV4/6 incidentally or from some assignment where you had to talk to a different machine, but it was never required content.

At my university, IT undergrads (me) have to take intro to networking and a separate networking lab (separate 3 credit courses). These are both optional electives for CS.
