Description

This guide contains a pretty awesome overview of what matters when it comes to designing systems on a high-level technical level.

I loved reading over it all.

Fleshing out some information about application, transport, and network layers. Maybe covering the interaction between DNS/ARP/BGP as well would be valuable, imho.

Research direction
Review the existing communication section in the system design primer (https://github.com/donnemartin/system design primer#communication). Expand on application, transport, and network layers, covering DNS, ARP, and BGP. Reference standard networking resources like RFCs or textbooks to ensure accuracy.
