Foundations of Routing & Switching: Scalable Network Infra
summary
Covers practical stack choices: VLANs, trunking and STP for Layer 2; OSPF, BGP, MPLS for Layer 3; route distribution, QoS, ACLs and IPsec for resilience and security. Claims automation cuts configuration time and human error by applying templates across devices and auto-remediating common faults; ML detects anomalies and predicts failures before outages. Industry proofs include financial networks built for high availability, 5G backbones using BGP, and IoT city deployments scaling thousands of sensors. zero trust architecture appears as the evolving security baseline.
