Ciro Rodriguez - Network Evolution and Applications

Network Evolution and Applications provides a comprehensive, integrative, and easy approach to understanding the technologies, concepts, and milestones in the history of networking. It provides an overview of different aspects involved in the networking arena that includes the core technologies that are essential for communication and important in our day-to-day life. It throws some light on certain past networking concepts and technologies that have been revolutionary in the history of science and technology and have been highly impactful. It expands on various concepts like Artificial Intelligence, Software Defined Networking, Cloud Computing, and Internet of Things, which are very popular at present.

This book focuses on the evolutions made in the world of networking. One cant imagine the world without the Internet today; with the Internet and the present-day networking, distance doesnt matter at all. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a tough time worldwide, with global lockdown, locked homes, empty streets, stores without consumers, and offices with no or fewer staff. Thanks to the modern digital networks, the culture of work from home (WFH) or working remotely with the network/Internet connection has come to the fore, with even school and university classes going online. Although WFH is not new, the COVID-19 pandemic has given it a new look, and industries are now willfully exploring WFH to extend it in the future. The aim of this book is to present the timeline of networking to show the developments made and the milestones that were achieved due to these developments.

Networking is one of the glorious technological evolutions in the history of mankind. Communication being one of the essential utilities to humans, network evolution plays an important role in making it more consumable. Communication is one of the essential requirements of our world and, more specifically, the society we live in. It simply means the exchange of information or the transfer of views, ideas, and feelings from one to another, from one to many. Communication has some key requirements such as two or more parties to communicate, a medium or a communication channel, a common language, and the information. The setup of the platform through which effective communication can happen is part of the communication technology that also includes a network setup. Communication technology has changed a lot with time and so has changed the network that has impacted our lifestyle. This book focuses on the evolution in the world of networking. One cant imagine the world without the Internet today; with the Internet and the present-day networking, distance doesnt matter at all. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a tough time worldwide, with global lockdown, locked homes, empty streets, stores without consumers, and offices with no or fewer staffs. Thanks to the modern digital networks, the culture of work from home (WFH) or working remotely with the network/Internet connection has come to the fore, with even school and university classes going online. Although WFH is not new, the COVID-19 pandemic has given it a new look, and industries are now willfully exploring WFH to extend it in the future.

The aim of this book is to highlight the important aspects of networking and to represent the overall timeline of networking with the developments made and their impact on our life. This book presents the journey of Network Evolution: its pasthistory and success of the project ARPANET; its presentthe modern-age networking where the SDN and NFV are making networking software-centric and customizable at the software level; and its futurewhere AI will play a major role in making the network more agile and collaborative. This book highlights the important concepts, terminologies, and innovations in networking. This book also discusses how innovations in networking have impacted the human life and the digital disruption of the present age.

We still have certain milestones to achieve in the field of networking. Networking has a bright future ahead, and its evolution is a never-ending one. We all are somewhere a part of the network and are somewhere connected. This book is an effort to establish a connection, a network, with its readers.
