👉 Addressing engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the design, development, and implementation of systems and protocols for addressing and routing data packets in computer networks. It involves creating efficient algorithms and architectures to ensure that data is accurately and reliably delivered from the source to its intended destination, even in complex network environments. This includes tasks such as IP address management, subnetting, routing protocols (like OSPF and BGP), and network addressing schemes (IPv4 and IPv6). Addressing engineers also deal with issues related to network security, scalability, and performance optimization, ensuring that networks can handle increasing data volumes and evolving technological demands while maintaining robustness and efficiency.
