Build the skills to perform all networking tasks using Python with ease
Use Python for Network Device Automation, DevOps, and Software Defined Networking
Practical guide to networking with Python
Book Description
You will begin with a review of the TCP/IP Protocol Suite and to refresh the core elements of the Python language. Next you will start usingPython to automate network devices and achieve all that you want from your network. You will then move to using Python for DevOps where you will be securing networks, monitoring networks, and building network services. In the last module, you will use Python for SDN, where you will use Python with OpenFlow, OpenStack , OpenDayLight, and NFV. Finally you will use everything you have learned so far in this book to construct a Python-based migration plan to go from legacy to a scalable SDN-based network.

By the end of the book you will have all the skills required to perform complex network-related tasks with Python
