Computer Networks

A book-shaped table of contents for computer networking, from first principles to production systems: Ethernet through IP, TCP/UDP/QUIC, DNS, the HTTP ecosystem, security, cloud/Kubernetes networking, performance engineering, observability/debugging, and distributed-systems networking — cross-linking existing kubernetes/sre/system-design/tech notes instead of duplicating them.

1 — DNS Fundamentals

Name resolution end to end: recursive resolvers, authoritative servers, and the root server hierarchy behind every DNS lookup.

3 — DNS Performance

TTL and caching behavior, plus split-horizon DNS, GeoDNS, and anycast DNS as the levers for DNS-driven performance and routing.

1 — Why Computer Networks Matter

Why computer networks exist and matter: the evolution of networking, internet architecture, client-server and peer-to-peer models, and how distributed systems and cloud networking build on top of them.
