Dedications

Sadiq H Memon:

This book is dedicated to my parents, Abdul Majeed Memon and Saeeda Memon, for their day and night gracious prayers. My beloved wife, Nazish Memon, and my kids, Nibras Memon, Ali Memon, and Ahmed Memon, for their utmost support and encouragement throughout the extended period of writing this book. My management at Cisco for their continuous support in excelling my career. And last but not least, the trust and support from all my auto customers, especially from Tony Cataldo (Manager Network Engineering from a renowned U.S.-based auto company). Without all their support, I don’t think I would have been able to propose and author this book successfully.

Joseph Ristaino:

This book is dedicated to my wife, Katie, for her endless support, and to all the friends I’ve made at Cisco. Because of them, this book has become a reality.

Carlo Schmidt:

I dedicate this book to all the amazing mentors, managers, and coworkers who have supported me during my time at Cisco. Without their encouragement, and their countless after-work hours teaching me how to become a better engineer, I would have never had the ability to co-author this book with Sadiq and Joey. I also dedicate this book to my wife, Ally, who supported me through many late nights of researching, writing, and reviewing.
