Does Oyster know the tube route you have taken?

FOR EXAMPLE:
(1) Get on the tube at South Woodford (zone 4, Central line).
(2) Must travel via Stratford (zone 3).
(3) Get off at Ilford (zone 4, railway station served by One Rail).

Charged for one zone or two zones?

Neither, you'd get a penalty fare because Ilford is a Network Rail
station not served by the underground, and hence only supports Oyster
travelcards, not pre-pay.

You could rephrase your journey as South Woodford (Z4) - Stratford (Z3)
- change to Jubilee - West Ham (Z3) - change to District - Barking
(Z4) so that the whole Z4 - Z4 journey gets done on the tube, but I
think you'd get charged for the incursion into zone 3 nevertheless.

BTW do you know the fare from Stratford to Ilford on Network Rail's
'One Railway'. I tried the 'One Railway' web site as best as I could
but they don't seem to list any of their own fares!

Using www.nationalrail.co.uk it gives the single fare as £1.70. Not that
it's quick and easy to find out, you have to first tell it you want to
do a journey from Stratford to Ilford, do a search, then at the bottom
of the timetable it displays click on the Fares button.

By the way, if you're actually starting in South Woodford it might be
just as quick to get the 179 bus to Ilford rather than tubeing it into
Stratford and training it out again.

LUL travel cards and Oysters don't know that you have passed throuh a upaid
zone but if you are caught the fine is now £20

For instance if you have an Oyster Z3-4 and you wanted to get to the other
side of London even though you end up in Z4 you've had to enter z1+2 to get
there. For that journey you need a Zone 1-4.

BTW if you want the truth about the strike go he

This is a bad example because you'd have to swipe your card at Straford to
get to the Jubilee Line from the rest of the station.

Although if you used the North London Line on the other side of the barriers
it might work. Does Oyster cover this one? And how can it tell?
