Network engineering knowledge base

Understand the network.

Gateway Wiki is a technical knowledge base for networking, routing, switching, protocols and infrastructure security — built to make complex network concepts easier to understand.

ROUTING / BGPSECURITY / IPSTCP / IP

One gateway.
Many domains.

A structured place to connect the fundamentals with the protocols and technologies used in real production networks.

⌁

Networking Fundamentals

OSI, TCP/IP, Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, subnetting, ARP, ICMP, DNS and DHCP.

◈

Routing

Static routing, OSPF, BGP, route selection, redistribution, policy and troubleshooting.

▦

Switching

VLANs, trunks, STP, LACP, MLAG, VXLAN and data-center switching concepts.

⌘

Network Security

Firewalls, segmentation, VPN, TLS, IDS/IPS, access control and security architecture.

◎

Infrastructure

Linux networking, virtualization, load balancing, proxies, observability and automation.

↗

Operations

Design patterns, diagnostics, packet analysis, performance, reliability and practical runbooks.

Explore by topic.

Start from a protocol, a technology, or a problem. The structure is designed to grow into a full technical wiki.
