Rust for Network Programming and Automation is a pragmatic guide that trains you through the Rust to design networks and begin with automating network administration. The book introduces you to the powerful libraries and commands of Rust that are essential for designing, administering and automating networks. You will learn how to use Rust's networking libraries like tokio, mio and rust-async to create scalable and efficient network applications.

The book provides a wide range of practical examples and use-cases, which help to simplify complex coding concepts and ensure that you understand the netwprk programming in-depth. You will discover how to establish network protocols like TCP and IP networks, run packet and network analysis, measure performance indicators and set up monitoring alerts and notifications. The book is an excellent resource for network engineers and administrators who want to gain a deep understanding of Rust programming for networking.

The author of "Rust for Network Programming and Automation" has a wealth of experience in network programming and automation with practical insights.
