zonenetnode
Zonenetnode is a network entity that participates in zoned network architectures. It functions as a routing and policy-enforcement point within one or more network zones. The design emphasizes locality of control, fault containment, and scalability by localizing most decisions and traffic to the zone boundary rather than the entire network.
Typically, a zonenetnode includes a data plane capable of forwarding packets within its zone and across zone
Operation involves using zone maps to select appropriate next hops, performing intra-zone routing locally, and applying
Use cases include large-scale data centers, multi-tenant cloud environments, edge computing deployments, and Internet of Things
