Product Description
From Amazon
You've seen the bumper stickers: "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." Simply put, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity is the mama of nearly everything that goes on in information technology. If it's not working right, pretty much nothing else will be working right. IP Routing helps you understand how packets get from one IP address (on one network) to another (on a separate network). This is what the Internet--not to mention all medium-sized and large corporate intranets--is all about. If you're a router technician, you need to understand what's in these pages. That's especially true if you use Cisco Systems equipment. Ravi Malhotra spends time on standard protocols that are used by all router makers, but he devotes significant space to Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) and Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), which are Cisco proprietary. He shows how to do configuration work in Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) exclusively.
In attacking each of the protocols he covers, Malhotra divides his exposition into several parts. First, he explains how to get the protocol running--he provides IOS listings that show how to bring it up on an example network (which he illustrates graphically). He then explains how the protocol assigns metrics to routes, and how it goes about evaluating metrics and choosing routes on the fly (this includes a look at the protocol's routing table structure). There's also coverage of any special features (such as virtual links under Open Shortest Path First--OSPF) and of troubleshooting strategies. Throughout, the author writes clearly, making effective use of graphics and realistic examples. --David Wall
Topics covered: Protocols for finding efficient routes between Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, as those protocols are implemented by Cisco routers. Covered protocols include both versions of Routing Information Protocol (RIP and RIP-2), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4).
Review
"A useful book for those in the networking field or those wishing to migrate between protocols." Raza Rizvi, News@UKUUG, October 2002

Protocols only,
By "bryanponder2" (TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: IP Routing (Paperback)
I was/am looking for a book on IP Routing. I can tell you this book is NOT for the beginner. It has no description on how IP addresses work or how subnets work. All it does is talk about the different protocols. This might be helpful once the reader understands the basics but not until then.

Uninteresting and doesn't cover much for the topic.,

This review is from: IP Routing (Paperback)
I don't see the point. There's not a lot that can be used or applied. Just reading generalizations and not offering anything near the amount of knowledge and usefulness as a book dedicated to this topic should.

Too many errors !,
By A Customer
This review is from: IP Routing (Paperback)
This should be a 5 animal O'Reilly book. Unfortunately, there are too many typos or errors in the book. A router newbie would be thoroughly lost with the examples. Interfaces are incorrectly labeled in diagrams, networks mislabeled, etc. If you have a good networking background already, you can probably wade through the book. It does a fair job of explaining how the different routing protocols are implemented on Cisco routers. Shame on O'Reilly for releasing this book - and you think Windoze crashes too much ??!!
