Poor editing
Don't buy this edition. Poorly edited. Buy the second printing September 2001. Easier to understand.

Very Good but...
there are chapters that torture to read through. Let me first say that the Cisco Network Academy text books have been excellent. The advanced routing material is never going to be easy to learn. This Cisco books cover more of the needed material than some of the competing books for the BSCN exam.

My only complaint is that some of it could be made easier to read. If you are not already knowledgable on OSPF and BGP, you will find that you must push through page after page of details of analysis of protocol packets and states before the author puts it into context. If you learn well that way, more power to you. For me, I needed to go to other sources, such as Cisco web site or other text books, to find material that also set up example configurations, so I could visualize and digest the tremendous amount of detail required to understand these protocols.

That said, you still won't go wrong with this book.

A Great Read!!
I purchased this book to read use in Cisco Academy semester five as a compainion to the online material,but ended up using the book more often than the online curriculim. The material is extremly well writen and presented,about as good as can be done with material so technical.I think the authors experience in teaching as well as an english degree really shows.There is more than enough material in this book than youll need to pass the BSCN and with the clearity of the writing style youll really understand it.
