Summary: Very good book for CCIE lab prep
Review: I bought the book five weeks ago and have been working through it setting up the labs. The BGP info seems to be every bit as good as Sam Halabi's, the NAT section detailed, the IP multicasting very detailed and thorough and the Router Management section good. I wish Cisco provided more books that are understandable like this for CCIE study.

Summary: Excellent BGP and Multicasting Information.
Review: I personally feel this book is even better than Volume I. Several hundred pages are spent on BGP and Multicasting, going through details that aren't necessarily found in the more well-known books on those topics. An excellent companion to Halabi and Williamson. The book was a major help to me in achieving my CCIE R&S. I just with Jeff would write a Security book! Chris Bryant

Summary: The best book on Bgp and Multicast
Review: Perfect for Lab and real example on Bgp and Multicast!

Summary: Good book on BGP and Multicasting
Review: They say sequels are never better than the original. This may be somewhat true for this book. This is a VERY GOOD book. It's just that it's not as good as the first volume. Still head and shoulders above the rest. BGP examples are clear and concise. It doesn't go into detail like Halabi's book however. If Doyle never wrote Vol I, this book (Vol II) would definitely get a 5 star rating from me.

Summary: Simple, clear
Review: This book covers BGP in almost 300 pages. Is it better than Halabi's bible? No, you just go faster into the subject as well as on NAT, IP Multicast, IP V6 and Router Management (SNMP, Syslog, NTP, Netflow...). Doyle is always clear and chooses good examples. I would recommend it as a first and solid read on the above subjects. Then continue with Halabi's Internet Routing Architectures and Williamson's Developing IP Multicast Networks. For IP V6, NAT and Network Management there are certainly other reference texts but I don't know them...
Rating: 
Summary: IT could have been better
Review: This book is a diaspointment from Doyle's Routing TCP/IP Volume I. This book is purely for beginners. All the topic in this book can be found in BGP Case Studies from Cisco web site. It's more for Enterprise Networks, not for ISPs. The author should provide more details, explanations, examples on BGP Filtering, Attributes, specially regular expressions. The book covers only the basics.
