  2. Edge routing policy & dual-homing
  3. Tunneling & secure site connect
  4. Clos fabrics, underlay design
  5. Overlay data/control planes (VXLAN/EVPN-class) with free NOS
  6. Multicast essentials
  7. NetOps for multi-node labs

Capstone: “provider edge + fabric + site” reduced topology, all open images.
