Product Review
"This book is unique in covering IP and PSTN routing in one place".
- Jennifer Rexford, Professor of Computer Science, Princeton University

"Medhi and Ramasamy offer unique and comprehensive coverage of the basics and practical aspects of routing from design to operations and algorithms to implementation. This book is a 'must have' reference for network engineers as well as students and researchers who want to have a solid understanding of routing evolution and the latest developments for next-generation routing."
- Prosper Chemouil, Director of Research Programs, France Telecom R&D; Fellow, IEEE

"This book presents an introspective as well as practical perspective on Internet routing, including BGP, and how routers are built for routing. Along with its treatment of PSTN and transport routing, it covers the whole gamut in routing comprehensively."
- Ravi Chandra, Chief Operating Officer, Sonoa Systems (co-author of six RFCs on BGP)

Book Description
This book bridges the gap between theory and practice in network routing!

Reader Reviews
This book covers computer networking theory and practice, with a strong bias toward IP-based networks. It's thorough, complete, and developed based on years of refinement of the material in the classroom and in the field. The authors have a wealth of practical experience, and it really shows through. In addition to IP networking, this book covers some great material related to voice networking. As technologies like VoIP become more and more prevalent, readers of this book will appreciate knowing some of the history and the design principles that that factor into the technology set. So, if you have an interest in the theory that goes into the practice, this is a great book. It's written at a graduate level, and it's very light on introductory material (if you manage to learn IP by reading Chapter 1, I'd like to meet you!), but if you're an IP network professional, you should be well prepared to absorb this book.
