I was literally a protocol software developer and screwed up the “what happens when I type <URL> in browser”

I was sooo deep in specific wireless network protocols I had to take a step back and really try not to go too deep too fast. I got way too deep into the specifics of wireless networking and everything that can go wrong. They seemed disinterested, and that killed my confidence. I mumbled over my words quite a bit and struggled to keep at the right level of abstraction. I felt rather intimidated. I had a strong vibe this person interviewing me didn’t want to be there anyway and they weren’t helping me along.
