A core textbook for CCIE preparation

• Learn how to apply effective hierarchical design principles to build stable, large-scale networks

• Examine broken networks and discover the best methods for fixing them

• Understand how the right topology enhances network performance

• Construct the most efficient addressing and summarization scheme for your network

• Prevent network failure by applying the most appropriate redundancy at the network core, distribution layer, and access layer

• Extend your network's capabilities through proper deployment of advanced IGP- and EGP-based protocols

Advanced IP Network Design provides the solutions network engineers need to grow and stabilize large IP networks. Technology advancements and corporate growth inevitably lead to the necessity for network expansion. This book presents design concepts and techniques that enable networks to evolve into supporting larger, more complex applications while maintaining critical stability.

Advanced IP Network Design provides you with a basic foundation to understand and implement the most efficient network design around the network core, distribution and access layers, and the common and edge network services. After establishing an efficient heirarchical network design, you will learn to apply OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, BGP, NHRP, and MPLS. Case studies support each protocol to provide you with valuable solutions to common blocks encountered when implementing an IGP- or EGP-based network

Advanced IP Network Design offers expert-level solutions and help with CCIE exam preparation through the following features: practical discussion and implementation of CCIE-level networking issues; case studies that highlight real-world design, implementation, management, and troubleshooting issues; scenarios that help you put the presented solutions to use; and chapter-ending review questions and exercises.

Pretty good reading after 'routing tcp/ip vol1' - 1999-09-07
Reviewer Rating:
I think this book is meant to be read after 'Routing tcp/ip vol 1' and 'Routing in the internet'. This book won't replace those two but it still has interesting cases that made it worth reading for me. Besides, it is much thinner than Doyle's book and covering a much larger area (topology design, interior- and exterior routing protocols) so you cannot expect the same detail.

Good resource for Network Design and Troubleshooting.... - 2000-08-21

This book deals with the scalability issues that plague big internetworks. For example, i couldnt find the discussion of implementing OSPF in a large scale ISP network EXCEPT this book. This book is not for the beginner. And it wont teach you anything either (appendices are helpful to provide some basic info about BGP, OSPF etc). If you are concerned with Network design and the scalability problems (and their solutions), I'd highly recommend this book. OK. So how do u make the host routes "disappear" from the routing table in order to make sure that your dialup clients arent generating LSAs on to the backbone each time they connect and disconnect?? Also covered are redundancy issues in the Network Core Layer, BGP issues etc. Good addition to your references.

A good follow up to the CCDx series. - 2002-04-09

This book can essentially be divided into two parts:
1) Why you should address your network Like So.
2) Issues & Tips with individual routing protocols.

Part 1 is written a relatively clear and concise fashion, and makes a good follow up or addition to a CCDP course of study. Part 2 is slightly rich with errors, and a bit more grab-bag like in its approach to the subject matter. Weighing in at around 250 pages of core material, this book is one of the lighter reads in the CCIE study course, and could be tackled by a less experienced candidate as well. On the whole a good book, but not a great one, I still consider it recommendable.

An OK treatment of the topic... - 2000-08-19

There is nothing in this book that you couldn't learn from 6 months on the job with a good networking group. I might have given it four stars if there weren't so many errors, especially in the illustrations/figures. When in doubt as to the correctness of example, trust the text.
