Routing TCP/IP, Volume I [1-57870-041-8]
Routing TCP/IP, Volume I, takes readers from a basic understanding of routers and routing
protocols through a detailed examination of each of the IP interior routing protocols: RIP,
RIP2, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS. In addition to specific protocols, important general topics
such as redistribution, default routes and on-demand routing, route filtering, and route maps
are covered. The book emphasizes techniques for designing networks that efficiently utilize
and integrate the IP routing protocols.
Routing TCP/IP, Volume II [1-57870-089-2]
Routing TCP/IP, Volume II, expands upon the central theme of Volume I: scalability and
management of network growth. Volume II moves beyond the interior gateway protocols
covered in Volume I to examine both inter-autonomous system routing and more exotic
routing issues such as multicasting and IPv6. This second volume follows the same
informational structure used effectively in Volume I: discussing the topic fundamentals,
following up with a series of configuration examples designed to show the concept in a
real-world environment, and relying on tested troubleshooting measures to resolve any
problems that might arise.
