-## Core Concepts
-
-### 1. OSI and TCP/IP Models
-
-```
-OSI Model                    TCP/IP Model
-┌──────────────────┐        ┌──────────────────┐

-└──────────────────┘        └──────────────────┘
-```
-
-### 2. Network Topologies
-
-**Hub-and-Spoke:**
-```
-        ┌─────────┐
-        │  Hub    │
-        │ Router  │
-        └────┬────┘
-         ┌───┴───┬────────┐
-         │       │        │
-     ┌───▼──┐ ┌──▼───┐ ┌─▼────┐
-     │Spoke1│ │Spoke2│ │Spoke3│
-     └──────┘ └──────┘ └──────┘
-```
-
-**Mesh Topology:**
-```
-     ┌────┐──────┌────┐
-     │ A  │      │ B  │
-     └─┬──┘      └──┬─┘
-       │  \    /   │
-       │   \  /    │

-     │ C  │──────│ D  │
-     └────┘      └────┘
-```
-
-### 3. Load Balancing Algorithms
-
-```
-Round Robin:       Request 1→Server 1
-                   Request 2→Server 2
-                   Request 3→Server 3
-                   Request 4→Server 1 (repeat)
-
-Least Connections: Route to server with fewest connections
-
-IP Hash:          Hash(Client IP) → Consistent server
-
-Weighted:         Server 1 (weight 3) gets 3x traffic
-                  Server 2 (weight 1) gets 1x traffic
-```
-
-### 4. Network Security Zones

-    └──────────┘          └──────────┘
-```
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: Multi-Tier Network Architecture
-
-**Three-Tier Architecture:**
-```
-┌────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│         Internet Gateway/Load Balancer      │
-│              (Public Subnet)                │
-└─────────────────┬──────────────────────────┘
-                  │
-┌─────────────────▼──────────────────────────┐
-│         Application Tier                    │
-│        (Private Subnet - AZ-A, AZ-B)       │
-└─────────────────┬──────────────────────────┘
-                  │
-┌─────────────────▼──────────────────────────┐
-│         Database Tier                       │
-│      (Isolated Private Subnet)              │
-└────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-**Implementation:**
-- Public subnet: Internet-facing load balancers
-- Application subnet: No direct internet access, NAT gateway for outbound
-- Database subnet: No internet access, VPC endpoints only
-
-### Pattern 2: Service Mesh Traffic Management
-
-**Istio Traffic Routing:**
-```yaml
-apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
-kind: VirtualService
-metadata:
-  name: reviews-route
-spec:
-  hosts:
-    - reviews
-  http:
-    - match:
-        - headers:
-            user:
-              exact: "qa-tester"
-      route:
-        - destination:
-            host: reviews
-            subset: v2
-    - route:
-        - destination:
-            host: reviews
-            subset: v1
-          weight: 90
-        - destination:
-            host: reviews
-            subset: v2
-          weight: 10
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: DNS Failover and Routing
-
-**Route 53 Failover Configuration:**
-```
-Primary:    app.example.com → us-east-1 (health checked)
-Secondary:  app.example.com → us-west-2 (failover)
-Geolocation: app.example.com → Nearest region
-Weighted:    api.example.com → 70% to new, 30% to old
-```

-## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
-
-❌ **Flat network** - No segmentation, everything in one subnet
-❌ **No redundancy** - Single point of failure
-❌ **Overly complex routing** - Difficult to troubleshoot
-❌ **Hard-coded IPs** - Use DNS instead
-❌ **No monitoring** - Can't detect issues
-❌ **Insufficient bandwidth** - Underprovisioned for peak load
-❌ **No documentation** - Network changes undocumented
-❌ **Open security groups** - 0.0.0.0/0 everywhere
-❌ **Single region** - No geographic redundancy
-❌ **No capacity planning** - Running out of IP addresses
