Internet Routing Architectures (Design & Implementation): Amazon.de: Bassam Halabi: Englische Bücher

Amazon.co.uk

Modestly subtitled "The Definitive BGP resource", Internet Routing Architectures is published by the book division of that cornerstone of the Internet, Cisco Systems--so you can be sure that the contents therein have come pretty much straight from the horse's mouth. For those unaware, "BGP" is short for Border Gateway Protocol, the de facto inter-domain routing protocol used in the Internet today.

The book is broken down into four sections, an overview of the Internet, routing protocol basics, effective routing design and routing device configuration. It's not a revision aid per se, one that would help you prepare for a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) qualification, and so is laid out as a general reference work. But the book's layout and format does have more than a passing resemblance to a Cisco router manual!

Now it would be an understatement to say that the ground covered by this book is incredibly technical and isn't for the casual reader. It is also true to say that where the subject matter is so complex, it's won't be long before your eyes glaze over. But if you try to over-simplify something that is inherently complicated it loses its meaning. This book succeeds in treading this fine line by introducing technical detail gradually and making use of practical examples whenever possible. And the going only really gets tough in the final chapters. Making this sort of rocket science accessible takes some skill and, more often than not, this book succeeds at that task, though it remains a dry read. Its intended audience is fairly small but for those that do need access to this information, this book is one for the shortlist. --Roger Gann -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) does exactly what its name implies--it routes traffic efficiently from its origin on one network to its destination on another. Most typically, it's the protocol that provides a private network with Internet connectivity. Internet Routing Architectures is an authoritative text on BGP in theory and practice, covering everything from good design of BGP-based internetworks to actual implementation of those internetworks on Cisco Systems routers. This second edition includes more information than its predecessor on BGP-4; other improvements are updates rather than major additions or revisions. You will appreciate having this book on hand if your job has to do with optimizing traffic under BGP, or if you're preparing for one of the Cisco certification exams.

Sam Halabi--a respected authority on Cisco routers--discusses addressing schemes and the ways in which routing protocols operate within those schemes. The general information serves mainly to set the stage for BGP, which Halabi explains lucidly in theory before getting into design issues and, finally, implementation via router configuration. The book presents practical situations ("Multihoming to a Single Provider," for example, which is subsequently broken down into sub-scenarios about how the multiple connections are used) and steps through the design decisions associated with them. It's also big on diagrams and uses one on nearly every other page to drive home points. The result: this book earns its cover price as a tutorial and as a reference. --David Wall

Topics covered: Means of connecting one network to another, especially by means of Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) on Cisco Systems routers. There's coverage of addressing and routing-protocol generalities, as well as of BGP tuning for routing inside and outside autonomous systems. Design decisions are a big part of this book's scope. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

"The" BGP V4 book ! 8. August 2005

Von Frazreid

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

This is the second book that I have had to read in order to fully understand the workings of the internet and how BGP really works ! I could have done it a little faster by initially just buying this book !

Excellent Internet Routing (BGP) Reference 14. Januar 2000

Von Just Some Guy

Halabi's book is the BGP equivalent of Doyle's "Routing TCP/IP, Vol. 1". Without reading this book, I never would have understood BGP and the implications of interdomain routing. I also recommend Radia Perlman's "Interconnections, 2nd Ed."

I can now say that I understand BGP 2. Juni 1999

Von Ein Kunde

The book was very easy to read for a networking literate individual. The book builds up to advanced topics and walks you through sample configurations. I now feel confident about my knowledge of BGP.

Excellent, well stuctured

A very well structured book on routing. Builds up subject knowledge step at a time. The only shortcoming is that some terms are not defined or explained the first time they are... Lesen Sie weiter...

Excellent reference, good background, good examples.

The book is a lot more pleasant than reading the BGP RFCs between 1771 and 1997. The Chapter 10/11 presentation style makes life easier than trying to wade through the much drier... Lesen Sie weiter...

A good BGP primer

The title is a bit misleading. While this book briefly touches other protocols (link state vs. distance vector and Halabi favors link state), it is a solid BGP resource and a... Lesen Sie weiter...

a must for any internetworking engineer

This is a very thorough book on internetworking. It starts from basics and covers each and every topic of routing and internetworking. I fully agree with the reviews below..
