Another great book from Jeff Doyle

This book, as well as Vol.1, is definitely one of the best books on networking ever written, both in general Cisco-specific. it is not only the best resource on BGP4 but on other "esoteric" and less known protocols like PIM, MSDP and IPv6.The content is very well-structured, all concepts are supported by numerous examples so even if one doesn't understand the subject in it's depth he or she can find an answer to a specific real-world question. Although Routing TCP/IP Vol.2 isn't meant to be a CCIE cram book, I believe it will provide the reader with great insight and deep understanding of networking which will help one pass the CCIE lab with shining colors and become a better engineer.In my opinion Vol 1 and 2 are the best books ever published on TCP/IP routing, both from a theoretical and practical point of view (with all due respect to Radia Perlman). Both are definitely the #1 resource for every network engineer and CCIE candidate. What the book doesn't provide is a quick answer to every question or an easy way to superficial knowledge - it requires a certain degree of discipline, concentration and time.Exceptional work, Mr. Doyle!

Very good book for CCIE lab prep

I bought the book five weeks ago and have been working through it setting up the labs. The BGP info seems to be every bit as good as Sam Halabi's, the NAT section detailed, the IP multicasting very detailed and thorough and the Router Management section good. I wish Cisco provided more books that are understandable like this for CCIE study.

Simple, clear

This book covers BGP in almost 300 pages. Is it better than Halabi's bible? No, you just go faster into the subject as well as on NAT, IP Multicast, IP V6 and Router Management (SNMP, Syslog, NTP, Netflow...). Doyle is always clear and chooses good examples. I would recommend it as a first and solid read on the above subjects. Then continue with Halabi's Internet Routing Architectures and Williamson's Developing IP Multicast Networks. For IP V6, NAT and Network Management there are certainly other reference texts but I don't know them...

A must read book for CCIE

It is a great book!!The incremental explaination on BGP stuff inside helps not only first learner to grasp the knowledge but also to make expert in Cisco BGP more confident in the regarding area.I would strongly recommend you to read the BGP stuff here thoroughly because it helps me to achieve my CCIE status recently.Also,other stuff inside will certainly prove to be a very big help in your career advancement as a NW engineer.Senior NW Engineer CCIE #7448

A 'must-have' book for the networkers

Just had a brief read thru. It covers extensively on EGP & BGP. Excellent coverage on IPv6 & multicast, which can't be found elsewhere. Good book for CCIE candidates! By having the Vol I & II books, you can cover almost all in TCP/IP routing.
