I would like to dedicate this book to my family, especially my lovely wife, Neelima, and son, Aryav, Without their support, none of this would have been possible. Their companionship and love are key to my success. I would also like to dedicate this book to my sister, Anubha, for always believing in me, and my parents, Kanak and Anil Shukla, whose guidance and upbringing made me who I am today and taught me the importance of hard work and humility. Lastly, I would like to thank my friends and colleagues (within and outside Cisco): All of you have inspired me in many ways and helped me in my professional endeavors.
