Product Description
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.

Let's kick off! November 20, 2008
I got this book to refresh my routing skills and ultimately to take the lab. It was OK and well organized with enough examples to walk you through the steps required to take some further steps! To be honest the only section that I didn't like much was its redistribution chapter but the rest of the book seemed very interesting to me. Although it's not mentioned in the book but you will find it extremely helpful a couple of weeks before your lab date just after doing all labs developed by different vendors it again tastes like a Cisco resource for a Cisco exam.
HTH,
Reinforces your basics and more October 6, 2008
I have been using this book to refresh my concepts. It's truly amazing to learn concepts you've known for so long from a different angle aiding in building on it. I always expect a lot on the background of the technology rather than heaps of implementation details and the authors have provided a balanced mix of both. It is the best reference on IGPs and another point worth mentioning is the highlighting of certain key areas, where most people are likely to make a mistake. Each chapter in this book takes you a step closer to knowing IGPs better.
Best IGP book September 3, 2008
People call this the IGP Bible. I would agree, and would recommend this book for anyone who is serious about networking. If you're going for certification, this is obviously one of the books you will need for the CCIE. I personally wish I had read this book and Vol. 2 before taking the CCNP BSCI exam... I probably would have aced it in about 20 minutes. Whether you're a CCNA, CCNP, or none of the above,any questions hanging around in your head about EIGRP, OSPF, and even RIP will be clearly explained here. The book even covered IS-IS (from a campus perspective... you would need a bit more if you're doing ISP work).
This is the first book I've read that tamed my fear of IPv6. For each routing protocol (aside from EIGRP, which did not support IPv6 when this edition was released) the book goes through everything about using that routing protocol with IPv4, then goes through the same thing using IPv6. When looked at side-by-side like this, you clearly see how simple and improved IPv6 really is.
With some books, you read an entire section on a particular protocol, and at the end of the section it will say "here is the command to redistribute it." or "FYI... here's a cool command called a route-map," but doesn't explain. This book has entire chapters on the individual topics of redistribution, default-routes and on-demand routing, route filtering, and route maps. This truly cleared up all of the the big network clouds floating around in my head.
Excellent, as Expected July 24, 2006

Routing TCP/IP, Vol 1 - 2nd Edition
I have used the first edition of Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP volumes 1 and 2 for some time now. I consider them essential to studying for the CCIE lab exam. They also act as an ongoing reference for any networking professional. I was anxious to review the second edition and have not been disappointed.
I was impressed that this second edition appears to be a well thought out re-presentation of the material. By that I mean it is not just the first edition with some bolt-on additions but rather a fresh covering of the material with the updates that inundate our industry woven in as opposed to added on to the existing text.
I find rare cases to employ RIP in my current work but as an old dog, I tend to monitor its evolution. The book does one of the best jobs of conveying RIPng and its exclusive use with IPv6 that I have seen. An important note that other writers seem to overlook is the reliance of RIPng on IPv6 authentication mechanisms. Coverage of EIGRP's approach to IPv6 was lacking but I am told this was due to press dates vs. standards publishing or some such. Separate research for this technology would be required for those that need it.
In typical Doyle fashion, information is presented in a very matter of fact way, diagrams are clear and correctly annotated. Command output is easy to follow and well trimmed of content that does not apply directly to the point being illustrated. I have chastised other Cisco Press books for failure to hit this level of clarity and correctness. It is a peeve of mine to have to flip back and forth several pages (or even chapters) to reference a diagram or a table that is being discussed in the current chapter.
Overall: As expected I was quite pleased with the book and will recommend it to anyone pursuing their CCIE certification. I will also recommend this book (as I have the first edition) to anyone involved in higher level network design and administration. I heartily give the book five stars as I believe most reviewers will.
The best book to learn Routing Protocols for Cisco!! June 26, 2006

Jeff Doyle's 2nd edition of his best-selling book - "Routing TCI/IP Volume 1" is a welcome revision to the cannon required for any CCIE Routing & Switching candidate. Jeff Doyle, along with Jennifer Carroll, has done an excellent job at updating what is considered by many to be THE book on routing. In particular, the new edition does a terrific job at describing the white-elephant in the room - IPv6, IPv6's packet format and how to configure some routing protocols to advertise IPv6 prefixes.
The primary focus of this book discusses the most popular routing protocols - RIPv1 & RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPFv2 and, particular to IPv6, RIPng and OSPFv3. Dedicating over 450 pages to these topics alone makes the book worth itself. A further 130 pages are used to discuss route control (redistribution, filtering and route-maps).
In particular, I was impressed by:
* The book is fully-updated, and is not just a copy-and-paste of subject matter from the first book. For instance, on page 439 is discussed the use of a much misunderstood newer command `area nssa translate type7 suppress-fa'. This is just an example of complex and new commands that are documented.
* Of all the books I have looked at, this book does the best job at introducing oneself to RIPng.
* The book wastes little time discussing site-local addresses for IPv6. As the difficulties of using of IPv6's site-local addresses has rendered ths address as too complex to implement (and was, in fact, deprecated in RFC 3879), this books notes this and moves on. This goes against other recent books that that wastes pages and time discussing IPv6 site-local addresses. As any CCIE candidate will attest, studying time comes at a premium.
There are few cons worth mentioning:
* The book repeatedly incorrectly documents IPv6's link-local addresses as FF80::/10. Link-local addresses start as FE80::/10.
*IS-IS is discussed (which is no longer on the CCIE R&S lab). The book went to press too late to discuss EIGRP for IPv6 and is sorely missed.
*The book does bypass some interesting subtleties that you know Doyle is aware of but are, for the most part, undocumented. For instance, the differences between EIGRP and RIP when using the neighbor command.
The path to the CCIE R&S can be a long (and costly) road. While this book is focused towards candidates for CCIE Routing & Switching Lab, I believe this book would be a welcome addition to any Networkers' bookshelf.
I give this book 5 pings out of 5:
