## What it is
An open-source handbook (book) on Software Defined Networking (SDN), covering networking fundamentals, SDN, container networking, Linux networking, OVS/DPDK, SD-WAN, NFV, and practical case studies. It is readable online via GitBook or downloadable as ePub/PDF.

## Use cases

- understand OVS and DPDK fundamentals
- study container networking concepts
- reference for Linux networking internals
- introduction to NFV and SD-WAN
- find SDN practical case studies

## When to choose
- you want a free, structured introduction to SDN theory and practice
- you need coverage of container networking, OVS, DPDK, NFV, and SD-WAN in one handbook
- you prefer reading online or via ePub/PDF

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date SDN tooling documentation, as the latest release dates to 2021
- you want an interactive lab or runnable software rather than a book
- you need non-Chinese-language material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, networking
- domain: networking, tutorials, cloud-computing
- platform: cross-platform
