Notes & Cheat Sheets

These pages are dedicated to a variety of technical documents – originating from study notes or on-the-job experience.

The current categorisation here isn’t perfect, as many technologies fall into multiple categories, however I’ve attempted to structure it in a way that makes content easy to find. If in doubt, simple use the Search function below or scroll down to view the index. IPv6 has been spread throughout all the categories rather than having a dedicated section.

Categories are as follows:

  • Service Provider & Internet – Core Service Provider topics that don’t directly fall into one of the below categories. Topics include MPLS & LDP, Overlay & Tunnelling Technologies, VPLS, EVPN, VxLAN, QinQ, PBB, Traffic Engineering and address translation.
  • BGP
  • Segment Routing
  • Multicast
  • Quality of Service
  • IGPs & LAN – Covers OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP and technologies that you’d find in an enterprise LAN, like HSRP, ether-channel.
  • Data Centre & Hardware – Cabling & Connectivity, Device RSP Redundancy, Media Types and so on.
  • Fundamentals – Overarching Network Engineering concepts, like the OSI model, packet breakdowns and MTU.

Documents are in PDF format and can be download by clicking on its thumbnail image. See below for a full index of all documents or visit the page of a given category.
