DESCRIPTION:
A fresh look at routing and routing protocols in today's networks. Rather, a close look at real world routing with many examples, making it an excellent choice for preparing for a variety of certification examsMany extras including a networking primer, TCPIP coverage with thorough explanations of subnetting / VLSMs / CIDR addressing, route summarization, discontiguous networks, longest match principal, and more.. Includes overview of BGP as wellNot written as a "pass the test" guide. In-depth coverage o

JAMES MACFARLANE is a 20-year veteran of the computer and networking industry. His career has covered consulting, network engineering, teaching, courseware development, and technical writing
A book understand how routing protocols work This book provides an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to understand how routing protocols work in depth.I liked the approach of explaining the why behind the how, and the fact that it's not focused on passing a certification exam, but rather giving the tools to configure and troubleshoot routing in simple and not-so-simple networking systems.The tables with the characteristics of each routing protocol are not only a good way to explain and summarize. "Macfarlane knows how to TEACH Routing" according to S. Scheiderer. NETWORK ROUTING BASICS: Understanding IP Routing in Cisco Systems, by James Macfarlane, is worthy of consideration if you're interested in learning from someone who knows how to TEACH routing. Macfarlane's approach, humor, sidebars, and up-to-date information make this book a cut above others I've read and reviewed. After "Networking Overview" and "Routing Basic" chapters (One and Two), the reader will have to slow down a bit to absorb "Static Routing" and especi. Very good Book Stephen Sharkey I like this book. The reason I like it is that it fills a gap if you are studying for the CCNP. The Cisco Press CCNP books are good, but they are a bit dry, and are more about the configs and passing the exam. This book has that plus more of the theory behind the protocols and some of the issues with each protocol. The writing style is informal so it feels like he is talking to you rather than just issuing instructions.
Authored by a consultant who has trained hundreds of networking professionals, this guide is designed to clear up the confusion and make the field of routing what Macfarlane believes it should be—understandable, interesting, and even fun.The goal of this book is to provide you with a working knowledge of routing technology and the confidence to use what you've learned. So he wrote his own. You'll take a major step toward passing an array of certification exams and be better prepared for the ultimate test—the real world.From this book you will:Get a complete review of core networking fundamentals, including packet forwarding and an overview of the TCP/IP protocol suiteUnderstand classless addressing once and for all—subnetting, VLSMs, and CIDRLearn exactly how routing works, starting at the works
