Advanced Networking Bundle
The Internet is not magic. It is a machine built from protocols, routing decisions, networks and systems that have to work together every second. This four-book bundle takes you behind the scenes, from the fundamentals of packets and addressing to cloud connectivity, IPv6 and the modern Internet edge. Learn what happens when a packet leaves your machine, crosses the world and reaches its destination, then go deeper into the systems that keep modern infrastructure connected, secure and fast.

About the Bundle
The Internet looks simple from the outside. You open a website, connect to a service or deploy an application and everything just works. Underneath, though, is a huge collection of protocols, networks, routing decisions, security systems and infrastructure working together in ways that are easy to take for granted and surprisingly difficult to understand.
This bundle is about learning how that machinery actually works.
Across four books, you will go from the fundamentals of computer networking to the realities of operating large-scale cloud, IPv6 and Internet edge infrastructure. The books are written from first principles, with an emphasis on understanding what is happening under the hood rather than memorizing commands or following configuration recipes.
You will learn how computers communicate, how packets move across networks, how DNS and BGP shape the Internet, how VPNs and NAT work, how IPv6 networks are designed and operated, how Kubernetes and cloud networks connect to the rest of the world and how modern CDNs such as Cloudflare fit into the picture.
The focus throughout is practical engineering. You will work through real protocols, architectures, configuration examples, troubleshooting methods and production scenarios. The goal is not simply to know what a technology does but to understand why it works the way it does, where it can fail and how to reason about those failures when they happen.
Whether you are building your networking foundation, working with complex cloud infrastructure, planning an IPv6 deployment or trying to understand what happens at the Internet edge, this bundle gives you a connected view of the systems that make modern networks possible.
No marketing fluff. No shortcuts disguised as understanding. Just a deep dive into how the Internet and modern infrastructure actually work.

About the Books
Internet Protocols from First Principles
How Computers Communicate Across the World
This book takes you from zero networking knowledge to expert-level understanding of how the Internet actually works. Beginning with the fundamental problem of communication between computers, we derive every concept logically: signals and bits, encoding and packets, frames and links, addressing and routing, reliability and congestion, encryption and naming. Each protocol is explained in depth, why it exists, what problem it solves, how it works internally and what trade-offs its designers made. You will learn to read packet captures, trace connections end to end through autonomous systems, implement networking components from scratch and debug real network problems. No prior networking knowledge is assumed. Only curiosity and a willingness to understand the machinery beneath the surface.
Cloud Connectivity Engineering
DNS, Routing, VPNs, NAT, and Hybrid Networks for Modern Infrastructure
Modern applications no longer live inside a single data center. They span multiple cloud regions, hybrid on-premises sites, container clusters, and the public Internet. When connectivity fails in this world, revenue stops, SLAs burn, and engineering teams scramble to find out why packets stopped flowing between services that were working yesterday. This book teaches you how to design, implement, troubleshoot, and operate complex cloud and hybrid networks from first principles so that failures become rare, predictable, and quickly resolved rather than mysterious emergencies. It covers DNS resolution end-to-end, routing fundamentals through BGP, NAT behavior across providers, VPN architectures including IPsec and WireGuard, VPC design patterns, Kubernetes networking, systematic troubleshooting methodology, observability practices, security controls, and real-world case studies drawn from production environments across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Linux, and common enterprise routers.
Advanced IPv6 Engineering
Design, Deploy, Secure, and Operate IPv6 Networks at Scale
This book is a comprehensive, technically rigorous guide to IPv6 for experienced network engineers, systems engineers, and infrastructure architects. It covers the full lifecycle of IPv6: from addressing design and routing protocol configuration to security architecture, operational observability, automation, and large-scale migration from IPv4. Each chapter presents the underlying protocol mechanics, architectural tradeoffs, and production-ready configuration examples for major platforms including Linux, enterprise network equipment, cloud providers, containers, and Kubernetes. The material assumes familiarity with fundamental networking concepts and is written to serve as both a learning resource and a long-term reference for real-world deployments.
Cloudflare and the Modern CDN
How the Internet Edge Actually Works
This book explains how the modern Internet edge works and how Cloudflare fits into it. You will learn the underlying protocols and architectures that power content delivery, from DNS and BGP routing to TLS and HTTP/3. Then you will learn how to configure, operate, secure and optimize Cloudflare deployments in real production environments. The book is written for engineers who need to understand not just which buttons to click, but why the edge works the way it does and how to make sound architectural decisions. No marketing fluff, no hand-holding tutorials. Just engineering depth.
Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase
We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.
