Network engineering is the discipline of designing, implementing, and maintaining the hardware and software infrastructure that enables computer networks to function, including routers, switches, firewalls, and wireless systems. Network engineers plan capacity, troubleshoot outages, and optimize traffic flow for organizations ranging from small businesses to global enterprises and ISPs. The field often requires certifications like Cisco's CCNA/CCNP to demonstrate expertise in networking protocols and equipment.
