Mastering Next-Gen Juniper Data Centers, 1st edition

Design, Operate, and Scale Advanced EVPN VXLAN Fabrics

Modern data centers are transforming rapidly--driven by AI workloads, cloud‑native applications, and increasingly diverse multi‑vendor environments. Mastering Advanced Juniper Data Centers is the hands‑on guide for experienced network professionals who need to design, deploy, and scale EVPN VXLAN fabrics built for today's most demanding infrastructures.

This book goes beyond theory. Through clear explanations, packet‑level walkthroughs, and real‑world architectural insights, you'll learn how next‑generation data centers actually work in production. You'll explore advanced topics including multi-tenant data center fabrics and service-chaining, multicast, multi‑vendor EVPN interoperability, Day‑2 operations with Juniper Apstra, and network infrastructure observability with streaming telemetry using gNMI.

Standout features of this book are its dedicated focus on EVPN interoperability across Cisco, Arista and Juniper network operating systems and advanced multicast designs--topics rarely addressed in traditional networking literature. Whether you're building new infrastructure or optimizing complex fabrics, you'll gain the expertise to deliver scalable, resilient, data center networks.

What You’ll Learn:

• Design and deploy multi-tenant EVPN VXLAN fabrics with service-chaining
• Implement multicast in modern EVPN VXLAN networks
• Understand packet flows through hands‑on captures and walkthroughs
