What does the Routing and WAN Optimization Second Edition include?

The Routing and WAN Optimization Second Edition includes 60+ downloadable files delivered via email within 24 business hours: 38 Excel-based tools including a 669-question self-assessment, automated scoring workbook, alignment matrices to ITIL 4, COBIT 2019 and NIST SP 800-137, and a 90-day implementation roadmap. You also receive 22 PDF playbooks, runbooks and templates including a master operations guide, incident response procedures, executive briefing kits and performance dashboards, all organised into a structured 11-section framework for immediate deployment and governance.

Are your routing and WAN optimisation efforts failing to deliver consistent application performance, secure cloud connectivity, and cost-efficient bandwidth use, putting your digital operations at risk? Without a rigorous, standards-aligned diagnostic and implementation framework, you face persistent latency, inefficient traffic routing, compliance gaps in network security controls, and escalating infrastructure costs that erode ROI. The Routing and WAN Optimization Second Edition delivers a 669-question self-assessment and implementation playbook to immediately audit, optimise and future-proof your wide area network infrastructure. This professional development resource equips you with a complete, evidence-based system to align routing strategies with business continuity, security compliance and cloud transformation goals, ensuring you avoid costly misinvestments, audit findings or network outages that impact revenue and reputation.

What You Receive

  • 669 evidence-based self-assessment questions in Excel (XLSX) across seven maturity domains, Performance Monitoring, Traffic Engineering, Security Integration, Cloud Readiness, Resilience Planning, Policy Governance and Scalability Strategy, giving you a granular diagnostic to pinpoint exactly where your WAN is underperforming
  • Automated scoring workbook (XLSX) with built-in benchmarks and risk-weighted calculations so you can quantify maturity levels, prioritise remediation and demonstrate progress to stakeholders in under 30 minutes
  • Alignment matrices (PDF and XLSX) mapping every question to ITIL 4, COBIT 2019 and NIST SP 800-137 control objectives, enabling you to validate compliance, satisfy internal audit requirements and strengthen governance posture
  • 90-day implementation roadmap (XLSX) with phase-gate checkpoints, milestone tracking and dependency mapping so you can transition from assessment to action with confidence and executive visibility
  • Executive summary and stakeholder briefing template (PDF) to clearly communicate technical findings, risk exposure and optimisation initiatives to non-technical leaders and secure budget approval
  • Master operations playbook (PDF) in the 00_Platinum_Tier section: a comprehensive guide to diagnosing, tuning and governing WAN performance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
  • Incident response runbook (PDF) for rapid troubleshooting of routing failures, path congestion and WAN outages, minimising downtime and service disruption
  • Anti-pattern catalogue (XLSX) identifying 32 common WAN misconfigurations and routing inefficiencies, so you can proactively detect and correct issues before they trigger outages
  • Performance observability dashboard (XLSX) with real-time KPIs for latency, jitter, packet loss and bandwidth utilisation, enabling continuous monitoring and justifiable infrastructure spend
  • 13 implementation playbooks (PDF) in section 06_Processes_and_Execution covering BGP optimisation, MPLS traffic shaping, SD-WAN migration, QoS policy deployment and hybrid cloud routing patterns
  • 21 reference guides and quick cards (PDF) including WAN security hardening checklists, routing protocol selection matrices and cloud onramp configuration templates
  • Full file suite delivered via email within 24 business hours: 38 ready-to-use XLSX models and calculators, 22 practical PDF guides, playbooks and templates, all structured into a proven 11-section framework for immediate deployment

How This Helps You

You gain the ability to diagnose and resolve hidden routing inefficiencies that degrade application performance and increase cloud egress costs. With automated scoring and benchmarking, you can prove ROI on WAN upgrades, justify SD-WAN or SASE adoption, and avoid over-provisioning bandwidth due to misaligned traffic policies. The integration with ITIL 4, COBIT 2019 and NIST SP 800-137 ensures your network design meets audit and compliance requirements, reducing risk exposure from unauthorised data flows or insecure peering. Without this toolkit, you remain vulnerable to undetected routing loops, asymmetric traffic paths and compliance gaps that lead to failed audits, regulatory penalties or service-level breaches. By implementing the 90-day roadmap and using the incident response runbook, you reduce mean time to resolution during outages and strengthen network resilience, critical for maintaining business continuity in distributed environments.

Who Is This For?

  • Network Engineers who manage BGP, OSPF, MPLS and SD-WAN deployments and need a structured method to assess and optimise routing efficiency
  • Enterprise Architects designing hybrid cloud and multi-site network topologies requiring performance-optimised, secure routing strategies
  • IT Infrastructure Leaders accountable for WAN uptime, cloud connectivity costs and end-user application experience
  • Cloud Network Specialists migrating workloads to AWS, Azure or GCP and needing to validate routing policies, peering arrangements and egress optimisation
  • Security Architects integrating Zero Trust principles into network design and requiring alignment between routing controls and NIST cybersecurity frameworks

This is not theoretical training, it’s an operational toolkit used by network professionals to diagnose, remediate and govern real-world WAN performance. By acquiring the Routing and WAN Optimization Second Edition, you’re not just buying a guide, you’re implementing a field-tested system that prevents costly outages, reduces audit risk and aligns network strategy with business-critical outcomes. Delaying action means accepting ongoing inefficiencies, security exposure and leadership scrutiny over underperforming infrastructure. The smart professional decision is to act now with a complete, standards-backed implementation system at your fingertips.
