Product Description
CCIE Professional Development: Advanced IP Network Design provides the solutions network engineers and managers 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. CCIE Professional Development: 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 hierarchical 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 stumbling blocks encountered when implementing an IGP- or EGP-based network.

Reader Reviews
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.
