Rust for Network Programming and Automation Second Edition

<p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Designed with the needs of those interested in network programming and automation in mind this updated Rust for Network Programming and Automation explores the realism of network programming using Rust 1.68. The book covers important topics like IP addressing subnetting and gateway configuration ensuring a thorough understanding of network fundamentals. The chapters cover the use of popular Rust libraries such as Tokio Mio and Rust-async for asynchronous network programming. These libraries are thoroughly examined demonstrating how to create TCP listeners bind sockets and handle incoming connections efficiently.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Packet manipulation and analysis are also important topics with practical examples using libraries like pnet and libtins. You will learn how to capture process and analyze network packets to gain an understanding of network traffic and identify potential problems. The book also focuses on network and performance monitoring showing you how to set up and use various tools to track network availability utilization latency packet loss and jitter. Understanding these metrics allows you to ensure optimal network performance and reliability. Cloud network configuration VPN setup and data center networking are thoroughly covered providing the necessary knowledge to manage and automate complex network environments.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(51 51 51 1)> </span></p><h4><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Key Learnings</span></h4><ol><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Become fluent in the fundamentals of Rust-based TCP/IP programming.</span></li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Use the pnet and libtins libraries to capture and analyze packets in depth.</span></li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Use the Rust-async Tokio and Mio libraries to program asynchronous networks efficiently.</span></li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Be well-versed in IP addressing subnetting and configuring gateways to assure a secure network installation.</span></li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Learn to use Rust and OpenVPN to set up VPN connections and monitoring network availability latency and packet loss.</span></li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Use packet analysis and monitoring to improve network security by identifying threats.</span></li></ol>
