excellent methodology - must read
ms oppenheimer has written a book that every networker should
read. she describes a concise method for analyzing and designing
internetworks.
admittedly she follows many of the tenets that comprise version 1
of the ccda (i haven't taken/looked at the newer version of the
test) - but there is a reason that cisco has helped to design
and support some of the largest and most complex networks in the
world...they follow a consistent, easily replicated, and scalable
model for networking.

network design is similar to putting a puzzle together - this
book simplifies that puzzle. if you are designing a network,
please read this. if you are managing someone who is designing
a network, please read this.

Especially for advanced computer programmers
Top-Down Network Design: A Systems Analysis Approach To Enterprise Network Design is an advanced resource written by information science expert and technical instructor Priscilla Oppenheimer especially for advanced computer programmers needing learn about or engage in top-down network design. The methods for network design are particularly applicable to campus LANs, remote-access networks, WAN links, and large-scale internet works. Filled with illustrations, real-world examples, and explicit step by step instructions for analyzing technical requirements, as well as selecting protocols based on performance goals, improving network throughput, and much, much more fill this detailed, 560-page text which is especially ideal as a classroom text, or for self-teaching instruction and reference.

The definitive Netword Design guide and CCDA Prep!
This is the definitive guide to Network Design, and great prep material for the CCDA test. Long after getting a 900+ score on the Designing Cisco Networks (CCDA) test, I continue to treasure this book and come back to it often for reference.

You will find this book to be right on the mark, no extra/unnecessary information, lecturing, or philosophies, no unnecessary technical mumbo jumbo. Couldn't make this topic any simpler & better organized than what Priscilla has done in this book.

One of those books you don't miss having a second edition of - it's as good a read (and applicable too!) today as it was years ago.
