Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1

by Jeff Doyle

A detailed examination of interior routing protocols -- completely updated in a new edition

A complete revision of the best-selling first edition--widely considered a premier text on TCP/IP routing protocols A core textbook for CCIE preparation and a practical reference for network designers, administrators, and engineers Includes configuration and troubleshooting lessons that would cost thousands to learn in a classroom and numerous real-world examples and case studies

Praised in its first edition for its approachable style and wealth of information, this new edition provides readers a deep understanding of IP routing protocols, teaches how to implement these protocols using Cisco routers, and brings readers up to date protocol and implementation enhancements. Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1, Second Edition, includes protocol changes and Cisco features that enhance routing integrity, secure routers from attacks initiated through routing protocols, and provide greater control over the propagation of routing information for all the IP interior routing protocols. Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1, Second Edition, provides a detailed analysis of each of the IP interior gateway protocols (IGPs). Its structure remains the same as the best-selling first edition, though information within each section is enhanced and modified to include the new developments in routing protocols and Cisco implementations. What's New In This Edition? The first edition covers routing protocols as they existed in 1998. The new book updates all covered routing protocols and discusses new features integrated in the latest version of Cisco IOS Software. IPv6, its use with interior routing protocols, and its interoperability and integration with IPv4 are also integrated into this book. Approximately 200 pages of new information are added to the main text, with some old text removed. Additional exercise and solutions are also included.

A bit outdated but I like Jeff’s style a lot. Also, it is never bad to learn about the evolution of routing protocols and the insights of somebody who was right there.

If you just want to pass the exam as soon as possible with minimal effort, look elsewhere.

Excellent case studies! Only request would be to put RFC numbers at the back of each chapter for reference rather then in the reading. Also I would like if all the talk of what is to come in other chapters is just left out. I feel like it just fills space and overwhelms the reader.
Thanks Jeff!

i'm dropping this book , best thing about it is history background for all technical data
but it's not helping me that much with CCIE

In dept knowledge about IGP protocols.

I was working on a project using OSPF extensions and source code changes to Zebra (linux routing application): chapter 8 is where I found all the background I needed on the protocol.

Good companion for surviving my entry level network job in the past. Can't recommend enough official Cisco materials for the aspiring network professionals out there.

Great reference to regarding IGPs. Took off 1 star because the examples use an old version of IOS (11.3) and there is some focus on old protocols like IGRP. However still recommend it as a resource for protocol theory.
