Summary: Good book for beginners or intermediate engineer
Comment: I purchased this book and returned it, not because it was a bad book, it wasn't. As a matter of fact had I not purchased a MPLS book already or owned the Moy OSPF book. O would have kept it. It is a good book that covers all the required routing protocols, albeit not in enough detail. The book always left me short on detail, I still had questions after I would read a section.

So once again I would say that this is a good book but not a great one. If you are looking for some basics on RIP, OSPF, BGP and MPLS then this is a good book. If you are looking for more detail, like why do ILEC's have IBGP and OSPF running on the same router, and how are these routing protocols used in networks today with some real examples, then look somewhere else.

Cheers!

Summary: Call It Like It Is - Essential
Comment: The documentation of switching and routing in IP networks was very complete and well illustrated. The book also described the concepts in the context of real world applications. Definitely lives up to its "essential" title.

Summary: Nitty-Gritty
Comment: This book really gets down to the nitty-gritty of delivering data on the Internet. It covers numerous protocols, including Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Constraint-based Label Distribution Protocol (CDL-DP), and the Resource Reservation Protocol with Traffic Engineering Extensions (RSVP-TE). This book tells you what you need to know.
