finally a practical guide to linux routing

I've been playing with the linux routing and the ip utility for a couple of years now, and about a year ago i remember sending Matthew a question about it as I saw him answer a question on one of the mailing lists about it. He answered my question, which no one else had been able to do, and I FINALLY got everything working. When I saw he had a book out, I immediately bought one and read it. One of the simple examples in chapter five was almost the exact same problem I had asked him about, dealing with loopback. (I'd like to think this was in there because of me ;-)) Even better, in chapter six, he showed me how to do multiple connections, which was a question I was thinking about asking him anyway as I just got a DSL in addition to my cable modem. This is an AWESOME book, and I think I'll learn a lot more cool tricks from it. Highly recommended for anyone doing linux.

great reference, good examples

I've been looking for a book on this topic for quite some time. Not only does Mr Marsh explain things well, he as great examples throughout the book. Also has a good writing style, the book is very readable.
