A lot of people do the same thing, except they have 5 years of experience on top of yours and still don't have jobs.

It sounds like you're already a good enough candidate - most people don't know and don't care about basic things like how a CDN works or what's the difference between TCP and UDP. And all the DSA grinding in the world don't help if you don't know the basics. If you go deep, you could be going deep into something with no value.

There's generally two things interviewers look for - smart and gets things done. You're smart enough, now you have to get the job.
