Nitty-Gritty

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.

Call It Like It Is - Essential

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.
