EVPN
EVPN, or Ethernet Virtual Private Network, is like a smart system that helps computers and devices in a network talk to each other better. It’s like having a super-organized mail system where each computer has its own address, and EVPN makes sure messages get to the right place quickly and safely. So, it’s kind of like a traffic manager for information on a computer network, making everything run smoothly and securely.

netlab
The netlab tool will help you be more proficient once you decide to drop GUI-based network simulators and build your labs using CLI and infrastructure-as-code principles.
You can also use netlab (potentially together with GitHub Codespaces) to build online, easy-to-consume, hands-on training solutions. I used that approach to build the BGP labs, IS-IS labs, and VXLAN/EVPN labs.
