Welcome to Cloud Networking
Abstract
The first chapter of the book covers general information regarding cloud networking. In this chapter, we set the stage for the rest of the book by providing some basic networking background for readers who are new to the subject, along with providing an overview of cloud computing and cloud networks. This background information should help the reader better understand some of the topics that are covered later in the book.
