SONiC decouples the network operating system from the underlying switching hardware, providing a common software foundation across multiple hardware platforms. Its database centric, micro-services architecture uses containerized services to manage configuration, operational state, routing, and hardware programming. This book explores the architecture and operational behavior of SONiC through the step-by-step configuration of a BGP EVPN data center fabric. It combines architectural explanations with practical configurations, database analysis, and lab-tested examples to show how SONiC builds and operates a modern data center network.

CCDE Design Labs – Volume I challenges you with realistic, scenario-driven network design problems inspired by the complexity and decision-making expected at the CCDE level.Work through evolving business requirements, technical constraints, architecture trade-offs, exhibits, and unexpected changes then compare your decisions against detailed answers and design rationale.Built for experienced network engineers and architects who want to sharpen their design judgment, challenge their assumptions, and prepare for advanced real-world network design.

Modern networks like the Internet — explained as simply as possible — but no simpler.

Read the book, do the labs, and gain your CCNP/CCIE Automation certification.

Network traffic can look like noise until you know what to look for. This practical guide shows you how to investigate unfamiliar protocols, analyze packet captures and build reliable workflows with Claude Code. Learn to reverse engineer traffic, test your assumptions and turn raw network data into findings you can trust.

Build a production-grade BitTorrent client in Python from the ground up while exploring the protocols, networking concepts, and engineering decisions behind one of the internet's most successful peer-to-peer systems. From peer discovery to data transfer, you'll implement every major component and gain a practical understanding of how BitTorrent works in the real world.

Build real-world software by coding a Redis server from scratch.Network programming. The next level of programming is programming for multiple machines. Think HTTP servers, RPCs, databases, distributed systems.Data structures. Redis is the best example of applying data structures to real-world problems. Why stop at theoretical, textbook-level knowledge when you can learn from production software?Low-level C. C was, is, and will be widely used for systems programming and infrastructure software. It’s a gateway to many low-level projects.From scratch. A quote from Richard Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand”. You should test your learning with real-world projects!
